      Top section here is advanced rideable but still some hike-a-bike. 4 yrs later from my first review. I'm a high-intermediate rider...but still was hard...if you don't mind the extreme hoisting of your bike for the half-mille to get to this section....it will be worth it to you but at least you'll have an accurate description before hand, unless of course you're superhuman????
