This is a challenging climb strewn with large smooth rocks that make your wheels slip. It's also known by another (more rude) name due to the expletives you inevitably make when you fail the foot down challenge.

Wasn't aware of this section as a challenge. I definitely failed 😃

Engage a gear you can pedal for a while, manage your position on the saddle by shifting forward, keep a steady cadence, look up and plan your route up. This is not an overly technical/difficult climb (depending on skill/fitness) but it does drag on and it can be easy to spin out a wheel on the loose surface.
