Downhill is easy, stay high around the left corner near the end to miss the boulder, or stay in the middle of the trail to hit boulder drop. You'll need a bit of speed to hit the drop. Reverse direction (uphill) needs the right speed and gearing, like most climbs, to get up both humps. Trail can be loose-packed near the end of the season.
