Awesome climb. Needs an awesome downhill to go with it.

For a climbing trail, this is a great trail. Kudos to the trail builder for being so creative all the way to the top. I just wish there was more of a reward. There is so much potential on this side of the mountain. I don't want to climb this just to go down Fistful and Deadwood. We need some black/double black features on the Chasing the Sun side! Make the climb worth it.

I loved this trail! The upper section was so surprisingly well built and clean. Only surprising because it was so unexpected so high up. The double black connector at the ends was a surprise, but a short jaunt to fistful. Cheers to the builders!
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
