Riding counter-clockwise is a bit easier. This trail can be a bit skinny and technical in a few places.

      Going clockwise, the first 3/4 of the trail was some of the funnest terrain i have ever ridden. However, the west face is on the face of a STEEP hillside with the trail being loose and only about 6 inches wide. There is also a 90 degree right turn that will send you righ of the hill if you're not paying attention.

      The last 1/4 was little more than tall dry weed wavking me in my calves.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
