Route takes you up and over the Broken Shield trail and then back along the backside of that "mountain" on the return trip back to the start of the route. In spots both up and down there is a significant amount of loose rock combined with steep grades that make climbing challenging at times. Recommended route is over the mountain towards the dump, as the climb up out of the dump is very challenging with grades exceeding 30% combined with loose rock in sections.
