    Chinaman's is an awesome trail. Ran it numerous times now. You can make it as hard as you want and there's always something more to try.

    I want to try this line again when I get my gears and front locker:

    Yeah, it's a pretty gnarly line and what makes that trail awesome. Just to the right of it is an easier line, and to the right of that an even easier line. Always something to try next time.

    Oh yeah I forgot about the whole spare thing. Do you think Monte will try that rock face at the end? That would be a sight to see.

    I don't want to give away to much but if you arrive at the rock face and attempt it you have to take pics. You can see where a lot of ppl tried and failed from the marks on the rock.

    There's no way you could do both in one day. Chinamans is a 5-8 hour trail and holy cross is at least that.

    Get here earlier on A Friday and we could run chinamans, camp, and hit holy cross on the following day.

    Chinaman is one of my favorite trails. Pics are from the 2011 TTORA Colorado Takeover, IIRC.
