Fun trail that adds rock riding to the mix. This is one of Powell River's classic trails with a flowy rip to begin, followed by some short technical rocky climbing. Mid-trail has one short steep rock drop.

With a couple of steeper rock drop features this trail is rated black diamond.

Options are to head towards West Lake for a re-route OR to turn left and hit Rapp Trap onto High Voltage for more techy classic trail time or to hit double black diamond rock drops, take a second right onto Pestilence
