I'll second Rocksurfer's assessment of this trail - it's tough. But most of all it's tough and it's loooooooong. It gave us about all we could handle for the day given we didn't start the trail until 10:00 or so. I had a great time but boy did I beat the crap out of my sliders and my exo. But that's what they're there for. If I do this trail again I would want to start before 8:00 in the morning.
Oh yea, one last thing. Chris coming down Ballerina was one of the most hairball things I have seen in a while. As he came down his left front tire hooked a rock on the drivers side and it pulled him sideways. He was sitting across ballerina rock just above the last big drop off by his passenger rear tire. His front driver tire was pinned on a rock in the front. If he tried to back up he would have slipped off the rock and rolled. After a quick cajones check he decided to just drive out of it. He just punched it and drove it down with a loud bang.
That took some hair my friends. If you had seen it - you would know what I'm talking about. Chris can wheel with us anytime.
