As per Northwind’s first suggestion usually if I’m doing either of those trails I’ll take the red up to the mast so I don’t have to do the black climb twice.
I can’t say I’ve ever noticed the fire road that bloodsexmagik mentions in his second suggestion (I must look harder) but I do sometimes head back towards the Buzzards’ Nest along the fire roads. It’s a longer bash than it feels like it should be though and comes out at the top of Zoom or Bust.
Also the name given to A Trailfairy Plan by the Trailfairies themselves (err ourselves) is “B Side”, so we’d really appreciate it if you called it that. “A Trailfairy Plan” was actually a placeholder name temporarily stuck onto Strava or Trailforks or similar by one fairy during its construction, to ensure we actually got to put its real name on the site when we finally decided what it was. 🙂
