Like most of Laie trails, this climb is steep and natural. With practice it can mostly be ridden and will make you tough as nails trying. It's the best way to get to the top of this ridge. Totally worth it, beautiful view from the top and several awesome technical descents. Because of all the pine needles this trail actually hold up well in wet conditions compared to other trails in the area.

 reporter Pretty clear right now. The upper part once you hit the ridge is a bit overgrown but still fun. A few tall grassy spots but that's pretty much...

 Some branches encroaching, but is still very much rideable. Awesome views up top.

      This isn't as ridden according to trailforks, but if your in the area, this trail is worth checking out. It's called "Gasp" because it's quite a climb. Not impossible and is doable, but will leave you "gasping." Thank you to whoever built this.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
