      This was super loose and washed out (it's been a dry summer, can't have helped). Looks like it's been hammered by a lot of rain and atv/dirt bike use in the past, too. I guess that's where it gets its black diamond rating! Most of the other climbs at Fitz are wonderful but this definitely is a grind. Not a bad thing, just make sure you got yer traction control on.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
