Ah Rocky! A tighter more technical climb than other trails on this circuit. Loved by some, hated by others.
There are a couple of sections that define Rocky Balboa. Rocks on corners and through tight trees. Have you got your balance and bike control sorted? What about your fitness? Go a couple of rounds with Rocky and find out! After this Mother-In-Law doesn't appear so intimidating.
Practice your precision in this technical climb with hairpin corners. Keep your eyes busy and look out for exposed rock (it’s a nice distraction from the burning legs).
