2025-06-12 - PA Wilds BDR-X - ALT Section - Sharpback Hollow Road

This is the second alternate section you will come to when traveling the PA Wilds BDR-X CCW as published. It lies within Section 4 (as do all the alternate sections) which currently runs from Milroy, PA to McElhatten, PA (as of March 2025 updates). Sharpback Hollow is approximately 4 1/2 miles long, and most of the roughly 300' of elevation gained is in the last 1 1/2 miles. From the entrance to the intersection of Hair Johns Trail (and a small clearing), the trail is pretty tame. You will be lulled into a false sense of confidence wondering why this section is considered an expert section. Shortly after passing this clearing, you will be greeted with a bountiful supply of mud and ruts. Hope you brought your knobby tires! Once you have had your fill of mud and ruts, the trail will make an abrupt transition to a rocky hill climb over the next 1 1/2 miles. Time to stand up, tighten the helmet strap, and go to work! Standing between you and now the very appealing, perfectly stoned and graded intersection with Buffalo Flat and Old Shingle Rds is one last very nasty looking road width puddle. There is a go around on a narrow berm to the right if you can get up on it. However, in the end the right track through the water proved to be no big deal. After a heavy rain, you may want to investigate before committing to one or the other. Sorry for the poor audio on this one, it's been an ongoing battle with the X3. I'm going to look into an external mic, or another camera. 00:00 - Intro 00:25 - Turning onto Sharpback Hollow Rd from Stony Run Rd 07:03 - Intersection of Hairy Johns Trail and Sharpback Hollow Rd 07:37 - Mud / Water 10:01 - Intersection of Kessler Trail (MST) and Sharpback Hollow Rd 10:18 - Mud / Water 11:05 - Mud / Water 18:19 - Mud / Water / Transition to rocky hill climb 19:10 - Adventure Battle Cry #1 20:38 - Catching our breath / Adventure Battle Cry #2 26:45 - The Final Boss! 29:03 - Emerging victoriously!
