This is a classic intermediate/advanced Squamish trail ride. It can be ridden in an hour if you are hammering and know where you are going, but if you are taking your time and looking at your Trailforks app give yourself 2ish hours or more if you are just out to have a mellow ride.

The climbing in this ride is all fairly low grade with the exception of the 50 Shades of Green Part 2 which is a bit steeper, but very doable. The descents in this loop are super fun. As an intermediate rider you might find a few sections a bit challenging, especially on Rupert (the Tazer option in Rupert is slightly easier with fewer rock features). Advanced riders will find themselves hunting for more speed as feel the flow of classic Squamish goodness Finishing on Rollercoster will leave anyone in your group searching for high fives at the trails exit.

**For a shorter ride, skip Man Boobs and climb up Tracks from Hell and just ride Rupert.

As an intermediate trying to progress this was a challenging but doable trail. There were many rock rolls I could practice on and only one that I had to walk. Lots of fun tech.

I don't think this climb trail is nearly as difficult as the climb trail to Half Nelson. It's pretty straight forward with a few switchbacks and tech.

I would consider this a very easy blue. Mostly green but one or two tech sections that are easy to walk. The sudden uphill in the middle caught me off guard. Overall really fun and great for beginners trying to progress.

Rupert is my favorite trail in Squamish. Fun rock slabs, cool wooden features, plenty to session, and easy to lap! Other trail favorites in Squamish are:

A classic SQUAMISH trail for the past 25 years that wraps up any ride ending on Perth with a big smile on your face. A crowd favorite for the Test of Metal. Good for any rider. Beginners may find the last pitch worth a walk.

The section 400-500 meters before Four Lakes has about 5-10cm of snow on it, the climb to Mashiter it's not as bad but steeper. There is a good track to stay on both directions but it could be challenging for beginner-intermediate riders.
