Description

A hard climb to get into the upper South Cañon trail area. Steep, technical climb (or descent) with at least two short portages for mere mortals.

Several tight switchbacks and some fun rock moves with a fast run-out at the bottom. Don't be discouraged, the hike-a-bike uphill is short-lived and is still better than riding Temple Canyon Road.
