@@DustyTrailsMTB i ate shit on the rock drop haha! luckily we both just had scrapes on bruises for the most part! But yeah, i wont be riding Farlow for a long time. Would much rather hit Bennet at this point
Good stuff man. I agree with your assessment on the climb, for Buckwheat/Bennet or Avery Creek climbing Clawhammer to Upper Upper is the way to go, but I do think it takes longer-if anyone cares about the fastest route.
@@DustyTrailsMTBas far as sanctioned trails go, Farlow Gap is definitely more challenging. Pilot Rock in Mills River and Beehive in Wilson Creek are at least in same ballpark.
@@DustyTrailsMTBit’s amazing. Better than Brevard IMO if you can deal with it very off the grid. No cell, power, water, houses, gas stations… nothing but forest and trails.
Is this the toughest trail in Pisgah? Or is there something else I should check out next time?
Farlow Gap was more chunky but less fun.
@hstravis I shoulda gone on that ride with you, but I don't think I could have handled the mileage! 😅
@@hstravis Second this to the T. Farlow ate my bike and we both wrecked on my last ride there...made for good content though haha!
@WanderingWheeliesMTB oh I missed that one! I'll have to check that video out

That way gets you the awesome descent from the top of upper-upper black to club gap, Avery creek and buckwheat.
Good insight! I appreciate you sharing that here! I'm sure some folks are gonna find that helpful. Thanks dude!
Another classic 🤘
crazy, the camera really doesnt due this one justice!
Right? This trail is full of nasty ledge holes and steps, and none of that shows! The gopro effect is real!
Trail so technical I crashed in my kitchen watching it.
🤣 nice. I hope you were wearing a helmet.
😳
Farlow Gap is the roughest trail in Pisgah
Well damn. Now I need to come back!
@@DustyTrailsMTB Honestly not worth it. It is mostly rated harder because of the deadly creek crossings, and the climb SUCKS.

@christhompson4542 I need to look into all of Wilson Creek. I hear that's the Zone!

Yes…..But is it as Tough as Value Added, Penthouse Slab, Don’t Tell Jeremy and K-Line???
Not even a little bit.
