I think a couple of people asked me on Hell Hole about how it compares to others trails so I thought I would post this for others that have run some trails and were wondering about others. We do have our trail ratings but until you have run some trails it may be difficult to put them in perspective. For the trails we tend to run most I'll start with easiest to most difficult.
Strawberry --> Hell Hole --> Rubicon --> Barrett --> Fordyce
Please correct me if I made any errors. Wasn't 100% sure on Barrett since it's been closed for so long.

From the Fordyce thread...
The trails we run (mostly)
From "easiest" to "hardest":
Long Canyon - 3
Bear Valley - 3
Strawberry - 4
Deer Valley - 4.5
Hell Hole - 5
Barrett - 6
Rubicon - 6.5
Fordyce - 8
Hammers - 6 to 10+ depending on the trail
I rate Barrett easier than the Rubicon because of all the bypasses.
And of course there are optional sections that can bump up the scores on these trails.
I used to wheel a lot. . .
