Looser and more tech than its neighbour. There are three short rock faces to negotiate before the speed picks up and a few smaller jumps connect you back into Hard Candy.

A great way to indulge in a little extra spice off the top.

      Gnarly with a capital G. Hardest one in the park for sure, and could probably be a double black in my opinion.

      Definitely black with some double black spots.
