Great views all the way down the trail, do not forget your camera/go-pro for this one!
The descent is challenging technically but should be okay for most people who are comfortable on steeper and rocky trails. There are some small drops in the first half but there is a plenty of line-choice to go around these and the lower half is mainly just very rough rocks and small steps that will test your suspension and arm strength!
Also great to link up to the Stank middle and lower descents for a fun day on the hill! Mind out for walkers on all parts of this route, the trails are shared and were very busy on the day we visited.
