A good climb with a few steep pitches, but not hard to ride. A bit narrow in places, but really fun flowing trail coming down. One of my favorite ways to access the top of Ireland for a fun ride back down to the dirt road.

 Trail is somewhat overgrown with grasses but it doesn’t hamper riding, be prepared for jumping Grasshoppers.

 Perfect trail. Overgrown just enough to give it that remote feel but really great conditions.
