After crossing over the Vermont Fire Trail, this section of track drops down the southern side of the ridge before climbing back to the start. Singletrack in relatively good nick (compared to Right Lung and connected trails) with one boggy creek crossing towards the bottom. Climb is not as much of a killer compared to Right Lung but still enough to you blowing.
