Bill, I'm with you. I would love a Torrent for Smithy, and I reckon it would be even better at Davies.
By way of (not very good comparisons) I have ridden my fatbike near enough the whole park, from Oceanview down crocs teeth and croc slide, Jacobs B, 3rd high and all the rest of the park - it's fine, and it's 15kg. The fat climbs really well, maybe geo/tyre grip/body position. Grip down, I can stop on croc slide!
I have also ridden the same on my Norco 125 DJ bike with Revo's and 2.35 small block 8's (which are a massive tyre, nearly as big as my 2.35 x650b and but way wider) and, other than real rough like Jacobs and Crocs teeth, it's also really good fun and much more playful that 4.0 tyres! Bear in mind I have pressures of about 30+ in that as the tyres are nontubless converted and I tore one on Jacobs, which didn't end nicely. Climbing it is not so nice, not bad, but not as good as the fatbike, but it's smaller and geo is not what you would call XC! You are welcome to take it for a blast...it's also about 14kg...
So, a trail geo, big footed, dropper fitted hard tail at about 13kgs should be killer fun.
AND, as I know how you ride, buy a set of 27.5 x 3 rocket rons and swap them for the RRR... I reckon you'd PB it.
