Year Opened2020
A Blue one way only, uphill climbing trail linking to Ironbark Hub. Smooth new machine built with short, steep pinches. Switch backing up the contours and some little short rock armoring to contend with. Look out for the short cut A-Line, rock armored technical section towards the top. Built to re-establish Whiptail back up to Iron bark hub, after Gravity Ridgeline absorbed the old northern end. This new one way climbing trail has been built to allow riders to climb up to Iron bark hub from Keelback and Whiptail Junction.
