This is a very, very, very rocky technical descent, quite steep at times, then a climb and then another descent The track covers the the middle and southern Mt Jerra Peaks. I would rank this as a very difficult blue descent or an easier black descent. I went for black as I do not believe this track is for the faint hearted and would encourage less experienced riders not to attempt it.

This trail is unsanctioned.
