 Garbanzo Downhill
Sunday, August 8th 2010
It starts way up in the stratosphere, where giant old-growth firs wrap the forest floor with anaconda-thick root systems, whistling down forever over super steep slickrock, banging off stunts and natural hits along the way before opening it up rocket style to the finish. 3,400 vertical of arm pumping, finger cramping, non-relenting downwardness that will test the likes of Gee Atherton, Brendan Fairclough, Steve Smith and current World Champion Steve Peat.
Course
Same course as 2009 - Start behind the Garbanzo lift hut -> Original Sin (including the uphill section) -> exit Original Sin at the step down/step up tree island on the Dave Murray flats -> proceed down Blue Velvet -> traverse and proceed into In Deep -> after rock face turn left towards Container (FatCrobbat would require a right turn at this point) -> from Container into No Joke/ Duffman -> remain on Duffman until merges with Golden Triangle -> continue on World Cup Singletrack -> Ho Chi Min -> Longhorn -> Monkey Hands to finish.
