Closed Dec. 1 - April 15th One Way Only: This is designated as a directional trail.

Description

Xylem Up was designed to get you to the Pete Rock, Witchy Woods, and Upper CDC options quickly. The climb is steeper than most Hogback trails, with several technical obstacles throughout. Actually, it's probably the most difficult climbing trail at Hogback (as of 2025). Don't let that deter you, though; it's short and doable. Use it to lap the upper trails and test your tight switchback and step-up rock skills!
