Hard climb, trials spur washed out in a couple of spots but still plenty of room to get around and up.

Worth the effort; woudl rate it at 2-2.5 up 1.5-2 down. As mentioned in the above text Makahu up and trials down is the sensible option (I went the other way around, shingle slope is hard work to go down)

Road is 2WD suitable; wouldn't go following heavy rain as it drives like a farm track/gravel driveway and the edges would be very soft (single lane)
