Very steep and technical, more of a hiking trail, very overgrown just before it crosses microwave tower road heading down, great views from the top though...

There are definitely some fun double black diamonds out there - however, this is one is not. While it is super scenic, the trail is a tight, awkward, winding descent down steep rocky terrain. There are smaller immovable rocks all throughout the steep tight corners easy to get hung up on, too awkward to roll through.
