Very Hard technical section which I probably wouldn't do again. Would save my time to do Dakota ridge twice 0.8mi

Was expecting a rowdy downhill like most MTB Only Trails, extremely difficult climb took the wind out of my sails. Will be back for climbing practice. 0.8mi — 0h 25m

Somehow difficult but boring at same time. Easily the worst part of the ridge.
