It's a fun climbing trail, but I agree with other comments that it's definitely not a green, beginner trail
everythingsucks
It’s a fun climb but I wouldn’t take a first time rider up it. Leans more towards blue than green.
zinexo
Cool climbing trail with a lot of slickrock. A few too many grade reversals/downhill bits.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
