      Riding up this, no way. However going down is a blast. There was only one section towards the middle that was sketchy due to how steep it was with large rocks and little bail options. Decided best to walk that part.

      OP has a misinformed view of Ron James - yeah it's chunky and yeah it's awkward but it's a very fun downhill, similar "chunkiness" to that of SoMo but mostly granite instead...

      Pure hiking trail, not rideable up, would be almost impossible down
