This is the fastest way up from the field to the top of Triple L Ledge, and serves up a punchy climb.

It's also a short, steep, and fun way down from the top of Triple L or the high point of Pickaxe, for those who would rather ride a steep dirt line versus rock. Good progression trail for riders experimenting with steeper terrain.

In the future, this will be a landing zone for a third line off of Triple L, likely a drop across the fall line.

The teeter totter and skinny in the field are at the bottom of this trail.

Trail Forks topography is inaccurate - this is almost entirely uphill, and quickly gains elevation to the top of the ledge.

 A line has been newly raked in there, and it rides super fun downhill.
