SCHOONER TRACE (H)

Sketchy, gnarly, techy, FUN!
I’d say both previous comments are right to some extent, this trail is entirely different than the single blacks here. If you want an old school super techy you’re probably going to walk a lot type of challenge then this trail is awesome. As long as you go into it with the knowledge that it’s going to be slow tough going and you’ll be off your bike a lot then you’ll enjoy yourself! Plenty of crazy tech that will make you sacrifice your body, or more likely some bike parts of you want to try to clean it.
Probably the hardest part is that the trail clearly doesn’t get ridden as much so all the rocks still have a thing coating of moss/algae on them when turns a lot of otherwise challenging but worth a try rock features into blocks of ice covered in grease. Possibly the moss isn’t as bad other times of year?
If you make it through the tech, you’re rewarded with a fun flowy downhill…and then punished for enjoying yourself too much with more techy climbing.

Bad ass tough tech. SO much more rewarding than Bobcat. Got a flat about halfway in so I need to come back and take on all the jank again. There are some sections that you have to hike a bike, but there's so much fun and tough stuff AND a bit of high speed flow.

Most of the single-black-diamond trails at BCSP can be cleaned easily by experienced riders. So I thought the double-black would be more of a challenge, but at least feasible for an advanced rider. Unfortunately it's just a jumble of random rocks and fallen timber without any semblance of a trail. Be ready to hike or hop your bike for 3.5 miles of forgotten trail. Only fun for the most masochistic of riders.
