This SFH route gets all of the best tech trails, minus KNM. KNM is reserved for the real shredders,...

The F-16 fuel tank “Aluminum Yucca” statue is really cool up close. (It’s a scramble off trail, or visible somewhat close from trail).
CW might be better over CCW if your into massive rock rolls and drops. One tech spot could be considered double black awkward. I think this is hike-a-bike in either direction hike the tech or hike the steep switchbacks take your pick. (The trail is steep both directions in the back to get near the statue)
