Great, challenging, but fair climb with lots of switchbacks. This is an amazing hand built climbing trail that needs to be ridden if you are riding in Pemberton. So much better than ridding an FSR

      Great climbing trail but definitely on the upper end for a blue truck especially in wet conditions. A lot of slippery roots & rocks in and after uphill bends.

      Great climbing trail. Love the middle section in particular with many steeper s-bends. The begging and end are really rocky and rooty - you get a bit rattled. Really well built climbing trail though.

      This is a fantastic climbing trail that will be a good technical challenge for most riders. You will be active the entire climb as there are no sections where you can just sit and peddle for an extended period of time. Newer intermediate riders and/or less fit may end up walking frequently. I can't wait to go back and try to clean more of it.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
