A nice single track, some tight switchbacks, some technicals sections and a lot of traverse on a flank. Very pleasant to ride.

      Switchbacks are getting more technical (motorcycle wear possibly?) this track should be black now

      First 2 left switchbacks are a commitment ! they are on steep rockslabs, inside lines are best IMO, a sketchy step 50 meters after the first switchback with a potential line on the left...interesting trail for sure !

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
