I'm scoping out a new trail, this way is going to link me up for other places potentially. It's a super steep widely spaced gravel stair step, that goes for a decent distance.

I’d ride down it.
On a mountain bike if I’m not already shattered tired riding up something like that is no big deal (unless it is worlds steeper than it appears).
Personally something like that on a gravel bike is pretty annoying but I never understood cyclocross either.
Too brutal
Nope. Pinch puncture and a dented rim in no time
This one I’m hiking up, looks like fun down though
If it leads somewhere fun I would try to ride it, probably fail, and then hike-a-bike to finish the route.
This looks a lot like a track they rode on GMBN recently. The bits he didn’t hike looked pretty miserable 😂

100% over and over again until i conquer it without touching.
Depends on your gravel bike.
I ride with 57-60mm tires and I’d do it. If you’re closer to ride bike tires at 40 then I probably wouldn’t
I would try, and fail, but be valiant in my attempt
I couldn’t even get up that on my hard tail without hike a biking
Ahh yeah definitely 👍 😂
I’d try it on my mtb, but I’d prob hike a bike my gravel if it wasn’t a race
On my XC, I‘d see this as a funny challenge but on my gravel with 1:1 gearing and skinnier, smoother tires… I‘d still laugh but probably won’t make it past the first step and end up carrying it on my shoulders for the rest
Hell yeah! Looks a bit annoying but if I wasn’t trashed yet I’d pop right over those
With Slicks!
