Myndas was traditionally part of the WC XC circuit with steep single track climb consisting of A and B lines with tight switchbacks. Once at the top of the climb you reach Oceans View section of Rocky Dingo.

This trail has more recently been repurposed into descending trail for those looking for more off camber corners, challenging enduro style stages and technical descents.

      Nice and steep with plenty of ways to go wrong. Commit and get back low in the saddle.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
