       I'm pretty sure the majority of the people go downhill on this trail. Just climb via the fireroad.

       This is an uphill climbing trail. Please don’t descend it. If you do it will get too torn up to climb and then we’ll have no climbing trails. Go descend one of the many downhill trails instead. If you can’t handle them, that’s not an excuse to descend this trail.
