The only uphill specific singletrack of the Pinsha region of trails. Just arround 800 meters in lenght but with some serious uphill grades and technical switchbacks, this climb will not only test your fitness level but also your skills as a rider. Really fun challenge to clear it 100% without any dabs or even attempting your own personal best time. Hikers are wellcome in both directions.
