One of the only lines in the area deserving of a double black diamond. The trail is a straight shot from the top of the credit valley to the bottom at the Culham Trail. Very eroded which only adds to the challenge, plenty of rocks and roots. Sometimes referred too as Suicide.

This trail is unsanctioned.

      Removed more deadfall from the top and re-opened the original entrance riders right. The trail is a lot more possible to ride now. Pick your lines...

      Removed large fallen tree at the beginning of the run. Cleaned out other deadfall and cemented the mainline. Open for business!
