Lots of roots, drops, and holes. Even a few brief moments of exposire. The lower section gets increasingly technical as you descend and the final stretch before the climb out is really tough. This should be rated a black.

One of the best natural trails on Galbraith. Should definitely be rated a black as it has more roots and exposure than just about any other black on gabby and there really aren’t ride arounds. Climb out is kinda brutal but can go into Keystone for some good flowy XC.

Great trail but absolutely needs one-way signage to fend up trailrunners from climbing the trail and endangering riders on the descent.

Bottom trail was being worked on this past weekend. Upper trail is steep with a lot of large washboarding. The upper is probably the hardest blue on the mountain.

Fun loam trail, definitely worth the climb out. The upper part is steeper but the lower part is more technical overall. Strong Blue bordering a black

Here’s the thing: this is a TECH trail. You can’t compare it to black flow trails. Just because you can get down Evo, Scorpion, etc. by riding around the big features doesn’t mean you’re a solid black rider.
Go ride Irish Death, Spacewolf, Double Down, or Brown Pow. Those are other black tech trails in the immediate vicinity and they’re all definitely a step up from Dad Bod.
