Very much in the same flavor as neighboring Pavlova, this is a steep feral track through beech forest. Just as steep as Pavlova, but with a more purpose-built rather than natural feel, it's a shade lower in difficulty. But don't let the relatively mellow start fool you. Along with Year Gnar, Morepork, Topa Topa and Trickle Falls, this is one of Wellington's most demanding technical tracks. Only those with confidence, skill, and a good bike need apply.
