This trail has no maintenance and no markers. It was so mysterious that we decided to challenge ourselves. Make sure to check the weather before setting out - there’s no fixed endpoint, you just go as far as you can. The start is all rock climbing, then you hit a 90-degree vertical rock face that requires ropes to ascend. The later section through the forested slope is covered in snow, extremely slippery, and every step requires grabbing tree roots for support. Having been traveling for over 20 days, we treated this mountain as our final challenge in New Zealand. Just as we decided to turn back, it started snowing - that snowfall became the perfect farewell gift to our mountain journey.
