I immediately recognized the location as the angled boulder face along the climb-out after the <em>boulder garden<\/em> on the <em>Ditch inner loop<\/em>.  It was an unremarkable shot, and the title was like some tagline straight out of the Ellsworth catalogue.  The roll-in itself isn&#8217;t scary-technical (ride the mystery drop-in for scary), but I&#8217;m sure it was enjoyable for the rider.
