Should be rated black. Because you need advanced skills to clear it all. Had to walk many parts going up it , only for strong technical climbers with good maneuvering needed for the hard tight angles, endless roots and rocks, and a few ramps. Felt like it was
outside my doability. Going down it would be easier I feel . I would skip this one unless you’re in solid shape and you have excellent technical climbing skills.

A trail from another era, honestly kinda blows. Showed this trail to a bunch of buddies none of them liked it. I've ridden it maybe a dozen times and it's only now I realize that it has no redeeming qualities. So rooty and slow I've only cleared it a couple of times. Every time I ride it I question if I've done it on reverse because it sucks. It's this kind of blue trail a new MTBr tries and then goes oh I guess biking isn't for me, noooooo this trail is just dick . Imagine going from a green to this.
