      The Grunt climb section at the west end is actually more chill and ridable than expected despite looking steep and loose. Exposure definitely has a few spicy sections. For reference, rode Tiki and Hurts after this trail, Exposure seemed the most difficult of the three.

      Took this from red dot to green and it was wayyy over my skill and comfort level. I'm pretty new but this is a brutal trail, lots of loose, off-camber turns right on the edge of the mountainside. Walked probably half of it and got off at the Mark's Meander turnoff to breathe again.

      Pay no attention to the old comment. This is a a solid climb with some decent tech for FINS. A few short punchy climbs and couple loose places but 100% rideable and fun as hell.
