This is a really stiff climb. It winds through the trees and has several steep switchbacks that can get to be a bit loose. This is mostly used as a climb because of the fast flowing fun down Flying Dog to the Beaver Dam. But make sure you are prepared to bring your climbing legs.

Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Blue Rating: Intermediate features and steeper terrain.

28 to 32 inches wide. No true technical obstacles, just some kind of steep spots.
