RMXC just ran Grizzley Lake and Old Chinman's this past weekend. Here's some trail descriptions:
Grizzley LakeOn Saturday we wheeled Grizzley Lake. This is one awesome trail. Very technical in places with enough easy sections to calm your nerves. The first obstacle at the creek reminded me of a wet version of The Wall at Poughkeepsie. Very fun.
Old Chinaman'sOn Sunday we ran Old Chinaman's. THIS TRAIL KICKS MAJOR BOOTY!
It isn't very long but what it lacks in length it makes up for in challenge. There is a section that reminded me of Mirror Gulch on Metal Masher sans the slick rock. There is also a mini wedgie that requires
very careful tire placement or you will do body damage. All of these obstacles are prefaced by a very steep, loose hill climb with rocks the size of bowling balls waiting to bang something under your X. Once you get through the hill climbs and the bowling ball sized rocks you start driving down a dry, sandy creek bed. There are numerous large rocks (the size of end tables)to drive over and around. The largest of these rocks is named Whale Rock. This guy is about 7ft tall and 15ft wide. There are three lines up him with two lines waiting to eat your drive shaft and the third waiting to roll you over. If you love getting your adrenaline going and you haven't run Old Chinaman's yet I would highly recommend doing so.
