if you've got time, check out the trail that runs down the ridge south of Mt 7...bit of a hike a bike to get to, but probably one of the most sustained steep descents I've ever ridden.
Mount 7 Psychosis
- Thread starter DarrylB
- Start date
No idea on what the course looks like as I have never ridden it.
That must be sustained if if rates that high from you. Not sure how many days I will do there, it's poor timing for extended road trip being a week before the kids get out of school.
Beaverhead?
Longer than Dead Dog? Sheeesh. I was halfway down Dead Dog and praying for a catch berm or flat section just to regroup. I forget what the other steep chute on Psychosis is called but it was even more hectic but seems a bit safer because it doesn't have the exposure that the top chute has.
yeah, looks like it's actually public on TF now but listed as "Cedar House", starts at 2300m and is about 400m higher than Dead Dog, ~1400m Descent. I mean, dead dog is still legit, and this trail isn't that steep, but the sections of steepness go for minutes. We probably rode it a day earlier than we should've for wetness, it was somewhat greasy still so the upper sections were super hard, and the exposure on the ridge was pretty serious, I don't usually get nervous with that, but I was gripped in a few places!

How'd you get to it? From the mt 7 shuttle road near the top?
yeah, 4x road keeps headed up above paraglide launch, then hike a bike for a while
You're going to race mt 7 on a trailbike and I'm the one crying?
You sure you know how this works?
