We rode the entire of PHD last week in the wet , it was raining heavily all day - 40mm and it's safe to say it was incredibly spicy. The slabs have some grip but not loads and there are some features where you have to fully commit and once you're in you're in. It was extremely challenging would say in the dry the top half has a few pretty steel rolls but the wet makes this a much harder trail

Definitely a harder trail than the stache or whisky. Some of the slabs and tech are double black worthy for sure. It looked like there were some easier ride arounds but that doesn’t make it a single black. Fun trail if you like lots of slabs and don’t mind a bit of jank.

I would say the lower part is a pretty solid single black. Especially with the addition of new go arounds this year. If you can ride the stache & whiskey you can ride this.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
