MAKARA PEAK’S NORTH FACE IS ALL GO

Posted by Caleb on Thursday, October 1st, 2009

north-facePersonally I’m in two minds whether there actually needs to be another track from the Makara Peak summit but as of the 25th of September the WCC have approved the construction of this new trail. Rumour has it that North Face might actually have berms. It starts at the Trickle Falls entrance and heads along below Ridgeline on the… north face… and then meets back up with Ridgeline Extension at the picnic table. Check the Makara Peak site for more details and track working bees.

MAKARA PEAK HELMET CAM WITH AARON AND HARRY

Posted by Caleb on Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

So this clip is way too long… But for those that don’t live in Wellington this is probably the most popular ride there is at Makara Peak, it’s the grand traverse, up to the top and down Ridgeline. 100% singletrack the whole way!!!  This is the second clip I’ve made with the VholdR from www.revolutionproducts.co.nz. The camera itself is amazing but the mounting needs a little tweaking which I’m working on right now, once that’s done I should be able to offer a tonne of other angles. Riders in this edit are Aaron Young on the Cove and Mark Dangerfield on the Nomad.
