This trail is a very technical trail with several rock problems that may require more than one try. Cleaning the climb in either direction is an accomplishment. But with great effort comes great reward with excellent gnarly descents with rocks and roots galore.

      Definetly the most technical in the area. It is much better clockwise. Counter clockwise isnt very clearavle climbingb
      and the decent is rather wasy. Ride clockwise if you want the eaier way up and more technical decent.

      Was my favorite trail at Hardy. Very techy climb to a nice lookout point, followed by a challenging but rewarding descent. Definitely check this trail out if you want a techy alternative to the other side of the road.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
