Very steep section made more difficult by some nasty roots. An excellent test of break control and keeping a good rolling speed. To slow and you will not make it over the roots and you will go over the front steering bar. Too fqstand you risk llosing control;
Better to try in dry conditions to optimisetraction

I wanted to ride up this trail with the E-MTB. But was not to create. It was too steep and way too wet. I couldn't even walk up it was so slippery. I wouldn't even drive down here myself. Far too dangerous for me. But professional bikers can do it for sure 😊
