Most of this trail is a firetrail in between the beginning and end singletrack portions. The fast run down the firetrail back into the trees often catches people out in too high a gear as they go into the trees and uphill. A couple of A-line shortcuts in this final section to look for too. The end is the summit plateau where all trails lead down.
