At the top arrow I could see tracks (the trail just 'kinda petered out) that went over the edge of the drop and other tracks that went around it as did I. Below the drop there was no trail but I rode down thru the rocks to where the bike is sitting.

The DESCENT shown in the top picture contained several more DROPS as big or bigger than in the lower picture. The stairs had several 150 degree switchbacks, complete with steps, that had 20' drops off the downhill side.

My experience and attitude classified this trail as SCARY TECHNICAL on that day but I am sure some of the SoCal riders I've seen flying around this area would just call them stairs and not a technical challenge.
