The section between the road and what is marked as National Trail was pretty difficult to climb. I'm only a marginal trials rider and felt like this was to much HAB. Fun if you enjoy these types of challenges.
Ampfrog
Has many fun tech sections on the way up; the hardest part is keeping up the momentum, pedal pushing/ratcheting fast enough to keep rolling up the rock steps. First try, prob 50-60% HAB (too late in the day to session), but saw the lines in most places. Don't use this as quick access to something high on the mountains (use the road for that), but great if you have the time and want a unique challenge. Does have a few easy/flat sections to catch your breathe on.
GeoffHollister
Fantastic downhill.
Some rideable sections on the way up, but a lot of hiking.
This whole zone can be accessed by a road which may be the best way up.
