Dark Crystal - Whistler Mountain Biking - Sea to Sky

[@damiansmith391]

How hard is the climb to get up here?

[@MINIMALmtb]

It's out in the sun the whole way. Steep fire road but doable for anyone with some fitness

@@MINIMALmtb but this is not like whole day ride tho right?

[@MINIMALmtb]

@@damiansmith391 depends on fitness. I think it’s approx 600m climbing, so might be a full day for some.

Is this that trail I read about that was built (unintentionally) illegally that got so popular that Whistler ended up incorporating it into the bike park and hiring on the trail builders?

[@MINIMALmtb]

Probably. Either this one or Micro Climate, which I think has a similar background. I was lucky to have ridden this one shortly after it was built ~2016 and it still stands in my memory as one of the best days I've had on the bike. Trail has changed a lot since then with its massive popularity, but is still really fun IMO.
