Brick makes up the top third of the 3 Pigs climbing trail. Predominantly a climbing trail, this is the premier single-track up to the towers at the top of Galbraith.

The trail takes over where Stick ends and has the last pig sign ready to guide you along. This trail is entirely shaded by mature forest and has a gradual grade as you work your way up the mountain. You will hit a fork where a right takes you onto Huff and Puff to continue single track to the towers and a left continues you on Brick over towards Kaiser.

This trail reportedly dates back to the early 1990s.
