Overall altitude gain is 430 odd metres whilst the total ascent is nearer 530 metres. The descent is even steeper than the ascent. The target of the tramp is visiting several giant Rata Trees (These are considered trees due to size with the largest seen having a circumference of over 45 feet – that is almost 14 metres). Overall time required was 7 hours but a long time was spent at each of the giants.
