Narrow and very well-built climb trail ascending generally to the west, but an arduous traverse for relatively little elevation gain. Difficulty swings between green and black. Incredibly cool XC trail, just don't think it's a quick or easy way to get somewhere.

A pretty good climb trail with some tech bits and places to recover.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
