First two sections are quality all mountain style riding, with some fun descents and jump lines. The finale from the 8km of the Drummond FSR is an all-time advanced level descent that gets loose with some wild, scree-littered steeps and technical lines unlike anything else around.

Beat to sh$t and loose scree but near the bottom a few great moments. An adventure ride that will make you question why you’re here.
