This route starts out with a three mile push for a mortal man. Once you reach the Alpine trail it doesn't take long to see why this is a black diamond, with technical steeps and equally challenging short ups for 1 1/2 miles to the Hall Lake trail. Take a right and the trail keeps up with it's engaging narrow technical nature for about 5 miles to the creek crossing. Once across the creek the trail starts to open up and turns into a fast-flowing ripper to the end.
