About a mile from Caretakers Lot, going counter clockwise.

It’s a good 15 feet and looks steeper from up top. Here’s a little video for perspective…

Now that spine has two features. Nice

Sterling is a true New-School trail system. Lots of opportunity for (legal) creative lines throughout.

If this is the one I’m thinking of, the regular line is to your left, so is going in the same direction(or towards the direction) as the folks that rode by in the vid.

Yep. The spine is the intermediate line. I'm working on adding some more stuff to that whole section. There's also a HUGE roller I'm eyeing a couple hundred yards down the trail. Gotta see if I can get permission to clear a line to it. Now that my back is feeling better, I can start light trail work again.

Aaaand just a few hundred yards down from the Dragons Tail is another potential big roller. That one has been on my radar for two years.

More stoke for you folk. Thanks @Victor I and crew for testing out this reworked wall ride. Go biggerer now.

The before…

Thanks @a.s. for building those great rollers and features. Here is a pic of what you built last week👍🏻🤘

Yes, I believe it was posted here already. I like this POV with him gasping for breath. 🤣

So it's been a really long time since I've been at Sterling but I wanted to give this a whirl today... took a few tries to find the right gear

Man, I’ve only been to this place once, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Really need to get back again.

Awesome. Made it look easy.

haha, it was not...its a grunt. Its not on the level of the impossible climb at wildcat, but its tricky for sure. The nice part about this one is the hard part is at the beginning, so you can session it pretty easily.
