    Bridge, Drop, Rock Face

A technical trail offering higher level riders a little bit of everything - steeps, rock faces, rocks & rooty bits, and a few drops. If you can keep your momentum during the harder sections this trail offers some great flow. There are also a few climbs throughout, so have the dropper post ready for action.

Comparable in overall difficulty to Value Added, although both trails are unique when compared to each other.

Access Info

Use the same climbing route as to access Entrails, but turn right towards Value Added. At the Value Added sign that signifies the start of its climb, hang a right for Grinch Toes and the trail starts immediately.
