This can be ridden in both ways. Super fun and medium technical downhill and a grueling challenging singletrack climb. Generally rideable, but the steep bursts add up, making it only cleanable by a demigod or low gears.

 there was a tree down on the trail where there were rocks added to both sides to create a roll over that then takes you into a tight switchback...

      Go up this trail. It is a steep but doable climb, however, it would make a horrible descent, flat switchbacks the whole way. Go down Grapevine if you go up this trail!
