This loop starts with a short, steep, rooty climb to the right off Outer Limits Loop. The climb moderates for a while, ascends one more short pitch, then turns left into a narrow, dry ravine and descends quickly down the floor, playing occasionally off the walls before joining Outer Limits again with a sharp right turn and climb at the bottom.
