A gruelling ascent with many technical features, is rewarded with spectacular views over the Harcourt Valley. The winding, technical descent features a line down a huge granite slab, a drop section and a meticulously paved, steep granite chute. (Alternative lines are provided around the most technical features.)

      Tough climb with challenging sections, down hill is great but some washed away sections. This trail is not ridden often and at times hard to find trail
