Burly Man is designed primarily as a climb route to access the trails on the northern portion of the property (Escalator serves the opposite side), although it is an enjoyable XC style downhill as well. The climb is very manageable until the last 1/4 mile or so, which becomes very challenging...so bring your climbing legs.
