Difficulty

From below, the trail can appear easier than when you're up on the ridgeline and coming down. For a shorter route, you will be tempted to skip airing down. The very bumpy ride due to the uneven surfaces and rocky terrain will get you out and airing down before you get too far. The rocks can be sharp at times. Flats do occur. The south side is very steep and rocky. Sliding is a hazard.
