Collection of new climbing connectors and some old trail creating a Fromme west side access climbing route. Don't let the green & blue difficulty ratings of a lot of the trail sections fool you, this is a tough climb. The trail ratings are mostly their downhill rating. This is a physically demanding climb that gets more challenging the further you go.

The NSMBA heartily thanks all of the volunteers, lead builders and groups who provided support to get the route opened to this point including: Arc'teryx, MEC, Rocky Mountain Bicycles, BC Bike Race
Lead Builders: Irish Pete, Pat Podolski, Digger, Brent Hillier, Owen Thomas, Chris Barker, Tom Hudson, Randy Konrad

This route is incredible. Killer tech climb. If you’re an xc nerd with no leg hair this is the most fun you’ll have on the mountain. I can’t stay away. In my nightmares I’m being strangled by the root creature that lives on d’yer mak’er.

If you can do this in under 35 mins you’re a god

This is in amazing condition right now. Go ride it! They’ve done a ton of work making it a little less punchy.

This just got a lot easier. Lots of work in the past month or two it looks like. The root road climb has been pretty much neutralized. I'm not sure if I'm happy or disappointed!

Executioner	May 28, 2020 @ 10:37am May 28, 2020	Needing some love in sections -- erosion, mud, ruts, and generally beat up in the section just after the bridge as well as just before the climbing trail forks left from executioner. As said previously, likely due to the increased climbing traffic lately.
