So glad someone else has trouble there! The climb is a snap, but those downward sloping roots right at the top after the rocks have killed your momentum while trying to get between the tree and the sapling stop me every single time. That's by far the most technical thing at RRT. And it's about 2 feet of trail! But that loop is worthwhile enough to put my foot down to push a couple feet.

But overall I don't think RRT gets credit for being the momentum trail that it is. In that section before the Gorge Climb it has pretty good flow if you maintain momentum. The harder you ride it the easier it is. Other than the named climbs it's a fast rolling trail. Super fast in several spots. I love the gully before Ski Run...you come out of that gully like a rocket and then get a little air on the roller. Then grab a handful of brakes before 'Dickie's Rock' and the switchbacks.
