Hell’s teeth, it’s steep After a tough climb, with some very steep sections, you’ll be
rewarded at the top with some narrow, flowing trail featuring numerous technical
features. The trail ends with a steep, bermed descent back down the hillside, before
rejoining the main trail.

Some of the switch backs near the end have been heavily skidded on causing them to start to come apart.

      it’s a proper job getting up there, well worth the effort. Some good flows downhill with tight bermed corners and slippy rocks in places. Great addition to a great trail

      Evil up hill section to begin with but the down hill is well worth the effort!
      Tight and windy down hill with burmed corners with loose gravel and sand.
      Everything is roll-able

      Had fun there today with Matt, Treg and Tris. Running well, a little wet but no problems!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
