      Has one short steep climb that gets me everytime. I just get past the two trees and that's it for me. Love to see someone climb that beast to inspire me to keep trying. Post a video. Might have to wait until next year now. The snow is not going to help. Gave up trying last month. Phew...

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
