An absolute gem of a trail that sees little traffic. Consists of incredible slabs - harder then hueso, boney elbows.
First climb up is a challenge, but can be ridden without dabbing.

1/2 way down the left hand line is recommended. The right hand line is a massive slab - sounds fun, but the consequences are massive.

Ending recently got some work, and is now much better.
