Alternative entry to Deliverance

Starts with a super tricky rocky chute into a sharp turn. Then something else equally fraught. Then traverses north with a few steep sections that are probably at their most technical when super dry as the loose rocks are like ball bearings.

Continue traversing/dropping downwards and you will meet Evil on your right. Some 100 metres further along Downpipe emerges from the bush only 30 metres before you join Deliverance.

 A bit overgrown in places. Getting dry out in open but still damp in odd place under trees. The entry rut doesn’t seem to have gotten worse in...

      Tight and technical with rocky and then off camber sections, always with roots. Sharpest descents are on the first part of the trail. Great trail and a good challenge
