“A short, relentless, technical climb. ”

Description [Suggest Changes]

If you choose to ride Dead Cow, as opposed to hiking with a DH bike, be prepared for a short relentless steep technical leg burning climb. The climb would be tough enough just because it's steep but add in the technical aspect and it becomes very challenging. Hikers are always amazed and impressed to see a biker climbing this one.
