Ridge Track

Ridge Track offers 4WD drivers a concentrated dose of technical challenge near Clarendon, packing serious elevation gains into less than a kilometre of terrain. You'll encounter a demanding 20% grade that will test your vehicle's capabilities and your driving precision, making this short but intense route perfect for those looking to push their limits without committing to a lengthy expedition.

The trail's steep ascent rewards you with commanding views across the surrounding landscape as you climb. You're navigating terrain that demands careful line selection and steady throttle control—this isn't a casual cruise. The compact distance means every metre counts, and loose surfaces combined with the aggressive gradient mean traction management becomes critical. Before attempting Ridge Track, ensure your vehicle is in top mechanical condition with quality tyres and appropriate ground clearance. Lower gear selection and momentum management will be essential as you work through the steepest sections.

This is exploratory terrain with no recorded completion data, adding an element of discovery for adventurous drivers. Come prepared with recovery equipment, a spotter if possible, and realistic expectations about your vehicle's capabilities. The Newtracs app will help you navigate precisely and track your performance on this challenging short route.
