Phase 1 now complete, Best present start is East end where "Quarry Connector" and "Raven" meet on short logging road spur. It follows the Rim of rock West above the Quarry. Lots of Slick rock sections and some technical sections. I will wait to see if Blue / Intermediate, is the correct level for this trail. "Please keep in Mind the trail follows the edge of the cliff all the way around and has some EXPOSURE" It joins up with "NightHawk" ( Which crosses "Quadrophenia")
This trail is unsanctioned.
