Cranks is accessed off Doyle St.

Shortly after coming in off Doyle you will need to look for a fork to the left. Cranks is a great XC climb that will leave your lungs burning. Cranks ends up T-ing into Upper Pioneer Connector, which if followed (to the left) will take you to the ZigZag bridge and connect to Corduroy.

Descending can be fun. Some of the tight switchback corners come up quick, so you can't bomb down this one.

To access Cranks from the Saunders side follow Corduroy to the East (past the tower trail).

This trail is unsanctioned.
