Pisgah Monster Cross. a couple of weeks ago. 9000 feet descending, most on dirt/gravel.

if you bothered to have any idea who you're dissing, you'd know from posts on here the descent out of my second home in NC is 20%, and I just rode the full length of the Blue Ridge Parkway Skyline Drive, which IIRC is over 50,000 feet of descents.
