      I love tech descending and climbing, but if you can clean this you’re one bad mf’er. I pushed up a lot of it. The descents were super fun though, and the viewpoint is really breathtaking. Definitely feels like a double black diamond.

      Repeating, short up and down technical rocks. I loved it!
