Originally rated Difficult (Red) now rated Severe (Black) due to erosion. Not wanting to remove the natural challenge from the trail it has been re-rated rather than changed. It is likely only rated Severe due to one rock face, the trail isn't that much more significantly challenging than a Difficult trail.
The trail itself climbs to the top of the ridge through switchbacks and then follows the ridgeline over two false summits before entering a more flowy section with berms, jumps and rollers.

This is a green trail with a couple of rocks dotted around

Black? Barely a red. Fast and fun nevertheless
Kinda-stinky
Really great trail with optional challenges if you dare to commit to them; descent is fun with technical chutes and corners but a good fitness level is needed to complete the whole thing in one take!
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
