From the top of the old downhill trail the climb starts on an old deer track running away from the crags. There are a few tight switch-backs but they're all rideable. from the top its a pretty mellow descent following singletrack and an old forwarder track for a short while, don't miss the left-hander off the forwarder track to take you back to the start of the climb to the Inca Trail.
