        845-802rides
        Brutally technical climb if ridden up vs. down from the top of the mountain. A true black diamond trail full of technical rock walls through streams, fast chunk and massive rock faces. A real deal trail, not as fast riding as other trails, but a technical loving riders delight.

        We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
