Even though the name implies otherwise, 250 East Extension was the first of the three sections to be built. It starts by turning left at the bottom of 250 East DH instead of right which will take you back to the fire road. A few gentle ups and downs lead into a steep steep climb then a short traverse across a benched ridge then bomb back down to the fire road.

      		 Pinch climb up the switchbacks is challenging, short downhill quite fun. Be careful on exit to the road.
