Harder than the SDW?
To put that in context, I meant it's unlikely to be more challenging than riding the whole SDW in a day, which is my current benchmark for stupid hard rides.
Also I think @giofox88 rode bits of this route when it was very wet and muddy, and I don't think he rode the entire SDW afterwards. So I'm not sure he can really compare within my original meaning. Correct me if I'm wrong.
TL;DR it will be hard but lulz.

Perfectly right, I was comparing km per km, meaning this is moar technical than SWD.
Also right in saying I did it (the course from few years back) with the worst possible ground conditions, coming back from an injury and with a bikepacking setup on a Surly Straggler.
That is my current benchmark of stupid hard ride.
With a proper bike (I'd say a hardtail cross), decent conditions and a good level of fitness this is definitely fun and doable, but it ain't easy.

Not loving my SS life atm :( Harder than the SDW? I better start looking for bail-out points...
