GaVgAs, what climb is that exactly from Achnashellach?
I'm passing through torridon as part of a camping trip next year and am riding up the River Lair, through Bealach Ban to Bealach na Lice and then down to Annat, is this the route you did?
and just to inject some willy waving in this thread, has anyone cleaned the Staircase from the Glen Coe end?
I've attacked it the last two times and have cleaned a lot of the tricky bits (the steps at the bottom, most of the switchbacks) but haven't the fitness to put together a prolonged attempt, plus there's a pretty deep water bar that would need some trialsing...
The descent down from the Buachaille cliffs is pretty interesting, if only for that feeling of "we really shouldn't be here with bikes!" it was a pretty painful scramble with bikes from Jacksonville though
No way even with a 22 / 34 bottom gear. Rode most of it but not the steeper sections. I wasn't the only one in our group struggling even with a granny gear. And it was on the estate road not a singletrack climb
