Kapakapanui Track

A very steep climb in Wellington. The hardest 500 metres average 42.8% and come almost at once, before your legs have settled. Expect 27 to 46 minutes. At 18.0 TEP it is harder than 92% of the climbs in the catalogue. Facing southwest, it gets the full heat of the afternoon. Graded as a hiking trail, so fitness matters more than footing. The nearest named summit, Ngatiawa at 649 m, is 572 m away.
