The trail comes off the top 1/4 of Fairies Wear Boots
It begins with some old fashion funk of rocks and loam and before you know it, you’re on a big old straight slab from heaven.
Steep but straight - this isn’t for beginners and a full commitment is required to ride the slab.
Drops you back to the road just above Retrograde.
