Nice flowy trail with steep parts and tighter sections. Chute halfway down optional. Some place where track splits into two then rejoins. Small climb halfway through. Jumps and small drops
Technicality comes from its steepness. Good warm up before trying Fort to gate

Access Info

New access from fireroad instead of fort plaque
