Gruntless gets its name due to the effortless climb. Only half a mile and less than a 200’ accent, this single track climb offers lots of switch backs, sections of relief, and a quick ride back to the top. This climb offers the ability to ride multiple laps of Belly Rolls and Ripple in a short period of time
