Direction of travel from south to north (cannot be driven the other way around)

Demanding descent with a branch option - the more difficult route contains a small drop

At the intersection, there are three trails: to the right, the very difficult rock slalom, in the middle, the difficult downhill, and to the left, along the hill, the chicken line back to the main trail.

The downhill has two options: a roughly waist-high root drop, or a technical detour. Due to the high risk of falling, I recommend protective gear—or pushing.
