A hand built, predominately descending, narrow single trail. The trail follows the contour of Rim rocks, for the most part, running just above the cliff face or down through sections of the Rim rocks. Riders need to ride with care. There are large drop-offs in parts at the edge of the trail. The Trail utilises natural features (stumps, limestone rocks, slips, gullies). Natural terrain is preserved as much as possible. Benching is be kept to a minimum. Some low berms and catchers. First half has a technical, busy feel. Later stages are more open and faster. It has a few, relatively easy, switch back climbing sections. Gradient 6%. A/B options may be used in a couple of places.Some steep descents. Some sections of trail are narrow, especially on steep faces. Trail finishes with and easy gradient switchbacked climb to pylontps://www.trailforks.com/trails/pylon-road/]pylon road[/L].
