Overgrown, extremely steep for climbing on MTB. Recommend avoiding this side at least for ascending.

      Came down this one and was happy. I pulled over for another rider that was struggling up the trail; trying to negotiate over the loose rocks - didn't look fun.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
