Just loose and narrow enough to challenge how fast it can be ridden, at lower speeds it is an easy descent.
Trail rebuilding a few years ago turned Party Line into 2 trails (the other being After Party that now finishes where Party Line begins). To avoid permanently looping remember to turn left at the bottom towards Dingo rather than right to go back up the hill.
