The people calling this a single black can f*ck right off, the crux move on this trail involves a committed awkward corner into a steep chute with trees you need to dodge on a bumpy runout. The trail is remote enough that rescues could be complicated. Double Black all day long.
FrothyWizard
If you like chutes and steeps you will have fun and will consider this a single black.

One of the harder trails around. Bit over graded as mostly a black but good fun. Few nice steep sections.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
