New Zealand Hill Climbs — road gradients measured by LiDAR
Road climbs across 16 regions of New Zealand, measured on the national 1 m LiDAR terrain model (Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand) and ranked by the steepest 25 m — part of the HowSteep survey. What the survey is, and how to read a gradient ladder →
Surveyed here: the great mountain passes and the steepest streets alongside the steep lanes only the locals knew, found by the same systematic search that produced the UK catalogue.
Every climb here carries a surface chip from LINZ's Topo50 road centrelines, cross-checked with OSM. Where a check is still pending, the page says so.
699 climbs published · 98.9 km of total ascent (a rough total — it adds every small rise in the unsmoothed 1 m profile, noise included) · Auckland, Bay of Plenty, Canterbury, Gisborne, Hawke's Bay, Manawatū-Whanganui, Marlborough, Nelson, Northland, Otago, Southland, Taranaki, Tasman, Waikato, Wellington and West Coast · share
All the measured roads on one map →
Surface: · Caveated rows: (ranks stay the true ranks) · paved is preselected and the toggle drives every ranking table below; gravel, mixed and surface-unverified roads appear under all surfaces. Ranked by one steepest window, a row may be a brief sharp pitch or a sustained traditional climb — the Length and Overall columns tell you which.
On this page: steepest 10 m · 25 m · 50 m · 100 m · largest net rise · provisional (40) · all climbs (699) · under review (340) — the rankings are the evidence-quality A/B subset; all climbs is every page, review-status and annex entries included.

≈ measured under tree canopy or near a structure at that window — the value stands but is less certain — the flag does not say whether the true value is higher or lower. Rankings include evidence quality A and B only; every row carries its surface chip, and restricted-access roads (toll/park) carry a controlled-access note — a real road lists, with its restriction stated.

Net rise is the endpoint elevation difference; total ascent counts every metre climbed, including dips regained — and, since it adds the small rises of an unsmoothed 1 m profile without ever subtracting, read it as indicative rather than surveyed (why).
Provisional measurements
Measured by exactly the same method, but the evidence quality sits below B — usually short-window maxima steep enough to trigger the plausibility review, awaiting a closer look. The numbers stand as measured; treat them as provisional until reviewed. What the evidence-quality letters mean →

Road status under review
Measured like everything else, but these roads are absent from (or barely touched by) the LINZ Topo50 road network — usually a farm or forest track, a private drive, or a map phantom. The class sits out of the rankings until verified — each one returns as evidence clears it. Pages stay live and honest.
