Very chunky up top. Steep enough that you'll be riding brakes. Not my favorite. Lower "new" section flowy but switchback heavy. A couple big drops.

I rode halfway up from the bottom. Definitely a DH trail-focus. Climb up is steep and consistent. It's been worked on recently but trees on the trail 5mi — 1h 10m
