Ride in RainYes
Similar to Frodo's quest, this journey begins below the final two rock steps - of the radio tower climb, not the Shire. Easy slab lures intrepid travellers into and through the murky forest, where they will soon encounter an off-camber, cruxy slab. Pass this test to experience the mysteries of jank before descending steeper slab into the darkness of Barad dur - which looks a lot like the end of the trail.
