      It won’t be difficult if you can do the cedar rock descent in dupont smoothly and quickly, if you can’t then good luck. trail is hard to find. scout out the lines before you hit them, there are a variety of different ones. Single black id say. Bareback i’d say is more technical and has some crazier rock rolls and more variety of rolls to session all day.

      Is this comparable to Big Rock Trail in DuPont in difficulty?

      Tried this as a climb. That was dumb of me.
