A tricky rocky section of The Beast, a black-rated trail at Coed Y Brenin. Turn off the fire road onto the jagged rocks, climbing to start before the tight corners and more stones really test your bike handling skills. The trail ends with a descent back down to the fire road, so you can easily session or skip this part if you want to.

Black (Severe) grade section of trail on the 'MBR' & 'Beast' trails. This was built back in 2002 for the then new MBR trail at Coed y Brenin. It was featured in the MBR magazine in 2002 and again in 2015 when they came back to re ride it and see how it had developed.
It's now quite rocky and techy. A true black section of trail. The flesh has worn off the bones! ie, the original surfacing has worn off the rough stone pitching underneath.
