Nice easy wet weather friendly trail that links Top Section with some of the trails lower down the hill. Contains a couple of drops of various difficulty and a fairly small jump on the corner of the hill. All can be bypassed.

Access Info

Get to the top of Scolty hill and ride the Scolty DH Top Section (on the east side of the hill). The trail is the one furthest to the right, and always stays with a wall on it's right.

This trail is unsanctioned.
