After the hill on lower ladies there is a fork in the trail, Big Stupid is the right trail. The Big Stupid came into existence as an alternate route from that point where the trail forks, possibly because the option on the left—the continuation of Ladies down to the Baden-Powell and Lower Ladies—is steeper and more technical than the line on the right, but also because of the draw of the namesake of the newly-revamped trail: a massive exposed rock face with numerous lines—one of those being Big Stupid. You'll find a couple of natural kickers built into small doubles and a new ladder bridge drop.

The ladder drop is reworked, and is now a blue feature, though with a little consequence if you fall off. The longest and best line on the rock face is still rideable. Best of both worlds IMO. Thanks trail builders.

Cool trail but the ladder bridge drop is pretty rickety. Would love it if there were a few more stabilizing supports as it shifts pretty violently and a few of the rungs are loose.
