Difficulty

Rated a 4, this is a slow-moving technical route with very rocky sections demanding careful line selection throughout. Drivers will encounter off-camber sections, ruts, and holes up to 18 inches deep along the way. The rocky and loose surface keeps pace measured but rewards those willing to explore the area.
