Moose Knuckles is a very steep and technical trail that descends from near the intersection of Danimal and Industrial Disease. There are some nice rock drops but unfortunately the middle of the trail is getting fairly eroded. Good luck
Access Info
The trail is access by riding Danimal South or Lower Sproatt and is usually combined with High Society for a long double-black descent off the Flank trail

First chure is really really tricky. I've ridden all the double blacks in Whistler and squamish but had to walk this one after it was pretty easy for a double black

I would recommend not going in from the top - go in from the middle; that’s where moose knuckles originally started from. The upper part is the end of old Industrial Disease which is frankly not worth the risk anymore.

Nice techy descent. It's challenging and amusing. Very Worthwhile if you are around, although not a destination per se. It's your best option after Pura Vida.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
