      I'll post my comment here also. This trail is '...flowy' in the same way the Democratic Republic of Congo is full of 'Democracy'. It's probably flowy to Gee Atherton also. It sure is beautiful, though.

      Super nice and flowy trail with lots of rocks (but not as loose as it's around the region). I think it's predominantly a S2 with short S3 sections. Super nice and easy uphill as well
