This is the upper limit for an Advanced Trail. I have run a few Advanced trails before but this was more difficult than those. The ruts a quite deep in places and easy to side strike your peddles. If you run mostly Intermediates with a few Advanced then I would think twice about trying this one. If you are confident on Advanced trails then this will be a good challenge.
