A hand built, descending, narrow single trail. Steeps in places. The trail follows the side of the ridge down, lots of steep dropping switchbacks. Riders need to ride with care. There are large drop-offs in parts at the edge of the trail. The Trail utilises natural features (stumps, limestone rocks, slips, gullies). Natural terrain is preserved as much as possible.Benching is kept to a minimum. Some low berms and catchers.First half has a technical, busy feel. Later stages are more open and faster. Some sections of trail are very narrow, especially on steep faces. The trail finishes with a digger built section with an optional line to some gap jumps.
