New two way, steep technical trail that will offer a more challenging, rockier alternative to Batcave and Pinot Grinio. Can be accessed from Magic Roundabout at the bottom. Take care when crossing Bombora.

As a climb it is a technical lung buster. As a descent you will have to work hard at first, especially around the rocky knob in the NE, before a series of challenging corners gradually open out to some faster trail. Watch out for the epic tree roll over near the bottom.

 Some areas in the bottom half back in the pines could do with a cleanup to keep trail alignment narrower and clearer.
