Straight down steep rocky chute to a right berm. Continue down passing an optional 'Double' on the left, then using left and right berms then traverse left across new trail traversing across and down between 2 large tree trunks. Finishes on bottom few feet of Wow and The Only Way Is Down trails. One of the better downhills and fairly even Red Grade, other than the start which is top end.
