The final punch to the summit going clockwise was loose rock and our crappy bikes meant walking up it. It was easier to ride down that section. I couldn't really say what it'd be like now.
Some of the other older rides I want to go back out and do is Wildhorse, powderface, and prairieview. I did Sulpher last year and it's still a ####ty ride.

Did it Friday, was the first time in well over a decade. They've done an amazing job with the bridge replacements. I picked a perfect day to do it, saw 8 hikers and only 3 other bikers on it. 42km, loved every minute of it. Counter clockwise is the way for sure.
