The South climb is sadistic. Looks like no fun coming down either. Larry is a better climb to the North. Downhill on the North is OK, but is really a blue. Stunty is far superior if you can manage it. The bluff itself is quite wonderful.

Gnarly trail coming down after the top, there's secret trails coming down that are steeper that the regular trail!
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
