A short but steep climb to a pylon perched above the St James area in Canterbury, rewarding the effort with stunning views across the high-country landscape. The route is brief but demanding, climbing quickly to the lookout point at the pylon. It earns its medium rating largely from the steep descent back down the hill, which calls for careful braking and low-range control. With its sweeping outlook over the St James country, this is a worthwhile detour for those exploring the wider region. Best tackled by drivers comfortable with steep gradients on both the way up and the way down.
