By far my favourite trail on Fromme with 41 years of riding Fromme under my belt. If you can clean it consider yourself proud. Makes you concentrate the whole way...only when are you done do you think to yourself....what was that? Perfect gnar Shore experience.

Lower ladies is harder than this without old lady, maybe they are equal with old lady. Can't say for sure as I have not ridden her version of the trail.
bboyshredder
This trail might be the hardest trail on fromme because air supply, pink star fish and jerry rig is closed pluss there is a mean old lady that blocks the trail but some one found her.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
