This is a steep and rocky mutha. It is an old school downhill trail on a lot of exposed bedrock and broken bedrock. As of September 2025 there is an alt b line (easier) that bypasses the crux of the trail. The alt line is easily passed by as it is a hard left on rock at the entrance to the crux. It is still the most difficult trail in the Outlaw Trail system. Their are no mandatory drops or jumps (there are optional ones) but it is just really technical and you have to very carefully pick and maintain your line choice.
