Description

Unkle Nazty is old-school, awkward tech.

Tight, mostly slow, with many rocky, slow-speed technical features that are mainly ridden without the benefit of speed or momentum and which often start/end in a sharp turn. It is one of the oldest existing trails in the Ark Hills system and the source of its difficulty remains unconventional by modern standards - and sought out for this reason. Please, don't modify this trail to suit your needs, to add flow, etc. No dumbing down, keep it awkward!

Access this trail via the fun, technical pedal up/across Pauli - you aren't missing much by skipping the final climb up CR173 to the very top.

Walked most of it the first time and then walked back up and did the majority of it clean. Pick your line carefully! 0.5mi
