      Starts out techy/chunky then opens up gets real fast and flowy. Some high consequence moves in the rock garden.

      Super fun trail, bit more technical/rocky than Reaper or Snake Back. Felt more like descent of Poop Chute or Armageddon in terms of rocks plus steepness if you were riding down and wanted to gauge.
