The Monster

Just rode Monster. 17 trees down which wasn't that bad. Major brushing is needed though. Scary not seeing what's right in front of you.

Great climb though - good work to all involved.

Trail is overall a hard single black with double black occasionally and 2 super gnarly sections. A little overgrown in places but manageable. Approx 10-12 min into trail after riding a relatively mellow start you’ll hit the ridge. There’s a yellow street sign with wiggly arrow down, sign kinda hidden tho. It’s possibly a triple black move in dry since very loose, with steep twisty turns and cliff of probable death to the left. Walkable tho. The second super gnarly section has an obvious ride around. Fast pumpy playful forest section lower down after the upper mountains fun rooty jank and steeps make for great diversity. Watch for off camber blue hose in lower forested section, it’s unusually slippery. If u can ride Nelson’s goldmember, gimp and bedframe, this is in your capabilities. No cell service

If you're going to ride this expect the steepest trail you probably ever ridden. Additionally, there's about 6 or 7 mature trees down through the upper portion of the trail, but that's just the beginning.

This trail hasn't seen any maintence in a couple years. Grass has overgrown the entire trail in some spots where you can't see the trail or your tire, you just kind of have to expect to hit rocks blind.

The trail passes by a very steep and exposed cliff side with dry, loose dirt with some corners and catch berms blown out. If you blow through some corners on that section of trail it will lead to certain death. It's very sketchy. The grade was not manageable.

It mellows out to the point where you can ride it by pulling a full throw of XT's and code RSC's. I have never pulled my brakes that hard for that long.

The trail crosses into a creek area with large trees. Fast loam, and chunky root doubles to clear. There's a large wallride and tons of medium sized features.
