A fun tech line straight down the face of Carn Brea.
Steep at the top with rocks and hollows waiting to catch your wheel, flattens out and gets much quicker at the bottom.
Likely to overgrow in the summer but still more rideable than other routes.
Very slick when wet.

Access Info

Ride to the car park and head straight to the edge.
