      Many different rolls to choose from varying in steepness and length throughout. Double black to Blue in difficulty, I’d say this one can be more technical or less technical than mclovin depending on your line choice. there’s a 30-45 footer or a 10-20 footer or a 10-15 footer in the same area to get down to the trail below for example. this area needs more, best stuff in the area if you like natural trails. can be as easy as dupont slabs or as tough as BC stuff.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
