This trail starts with a sustained and sometimes technical climb, then after very briefly flattening out, continues climbing up a series of rock faces. The downhill winds through carved out chutes, over rock rolls (usually with ride around options), and over a number of difficult technical features and small drops. Keep an eye out for side lines and features. The landscape is beautiful. The trail can become rutted out after heavy rains.
To access this trail, drop into the chutes, but cut to the right almost immediately at the first fork. This will quickly take you the the base of the climbing portion of this trail. The trail is ridden almost exclusively in the clockwise direction, and is often combined with middlegate for a longer ride with similar character.
