Land OwnerLFW
More granite to be found here. A couple of easier slabs, then step it up a notch if you choose the lefthand option at the 1st fork. The Sheridan Exit (to the right) is an easy out. As the sign says, the Dave Reid Slab is a bit awkward but lots of fun. This leads to the Motyka Exit, where it can get spicy - although there is a panty line. Or stay on the old road to join the original SoT exit right at the bottom.
This trail is unsanctioned.
