This is for the geo-cacher who loves a challenge. This DOC walk, although challenging is well worth the sweat and the "are we there yet?" mumbles. It is not recommended for those who insist on using their ipod as they are going to miss all the bird song. A lucky few will hear a kiwi, which we were lucky to hear when entering the bush to lay our cache.
The track starts in scenic New Zealand bush, this is 
a reserve, so please, no dogs. Take the time to listen to the bird calls, the whistling wings of a wood pigeon, the overwhelming chattering of cicadas on a hot day...this makes for a good excuse when a short breather is required. Do not be disheartened by the first 100 metres, we promise you it is all worth it. The track then emerges onto farmland, the track is marked with DoC green poles ringed with yellow. There are 4WD tracks to follow if the weather closes in and you can't see the next marker.
The vista at the top is well worth the hard yakka.
On clear days you are looking over the Mohaka Valley and when very clear you can see as far as Mt Ruapehu. Be aware if it is gusty, the rock plateaus are not railed. Please be aware that we have not placed cache on any of the rock formations for safety reasons. Stop... take in the veiws... take a deep breath, you are now over a thousand metres above sea level.
