Ok guys

 

had a look at the track pics from Billy @Dirtmag ... top is open and old school! Then it gets steep and rocky! No roots! Just Rocks

 

Checked it on Google Earth and the track is short in comparison with only 276m elevation drop over 1.36km ... BUT its got an avg gradient of -20%.

 

PICS - thanks to Billy @ Dirt Mag
