This trail parallels Leviathan but incorporates more downhill terrain toward the eastern boundary. It includes 3 steeper sections, a 16" drop and a low level log A frame. None of these have ride arounds.

The multi-entry trail is the more difficult downhill section toward the valley bottom, leading into its sister intermediate trail, Charybdis, which terminates at French Creek with other trails.

This trail is unsanctioned.
