Proposed by the Vail Valley Mountain Trails Alliance and Hardscrabble Trails Coalition, this new climbing trail was approved by the BLM in late September, 2021. This strategic climbing connection creates an additional climbing trail in East Eagle that can be used by users coming from Adam's Way, 3 Sisters, and/or Haymaker.

It also allows numerous lap options off of Bellyache Rd including riding Will's Thrill over and over or riding Will's Thrill, climb back up and then riding Pool & Ice or Redneck down.

*Closed to bikes Dec 1 - Apr 15 each year to protect deer/elk populations
