there is a rocky climb section towards fountains side ( not bext to the fence) lots of lose rocks and steep incline never been able to do it all the way

 

also riverbed and then before the riverbed - somewhere a section that if you stop its at an angle down to your left . I once got stuck and with feet clipped in went down to my left lots of rocks hidden in the grass pain fulll . The problem on these rocky sections is not speed but there are so many you bound to hit one coming down even when standing still - still njoy always challenging

I know that climb very well, you climb up along the fence and keep right instead of left along the fence. Technical climbs is my bread and butter, so I manage to get up there.

 

WRT to my previous comment of not unclipping in Groennies, it must be said that I haven't ridden all the trails out there and I might be missing out on some fun stuff. To give you an idea, I've only ever ridden once along the fence along Botha, always tend to climb up the mountain and bomb the descent.

The fence bit along Botha is that downhill piece almost at the "end" of one of the trails, right? My bar-end got stuck in there the other day.... one good reason for me to take them off.
