Cyclone features roots and rocks and plenty of tech, including rocks that can be very slippery. It's a classic old-school up and down descent, with unrelenting challenges. It intersects with Evolution twice, affording bailout opportunities. The lower section has a crux rock rolldown that should be scoped first.
