      I think the description is referencing old ladders maybe?

      Does any body know what time this place opens or if there is a charge?

      I'm confused by the trail description as there are no ladder bridges or rock rolls. Has a few steeper sections, but nothing too technical. Would not rate this a double black.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
