Rocky switchbacks and narrow bench makes this a really fun tech decent. nTight turns with some no-fall zones tossed in make it spicy. No mandatory drops or airs but lots of chunk keep you on your toes and energy management is needed to avoid going off the trail (and possibly the side of the mountain).
