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