A Very Tough, But Stunning Mountain

Ride Log -   / strava  

Back in 2018 I rode a mountain called Sgorr Dhearg. It was only my second mountain that I tackled on my bike after Ben Lomond, and honestly, it was terrifying!

This mountain is raw and pure, with no official path at any point. I climbed up the way I went down in this video, and once I got to the top, I was too scared to go back down that way. Thankfully, I was able to go down the other side, which was easier but not as fun.

This time, I wanted to see it through, so brought my mate Piers along to join me. Long story short, we managed it, but it wasn't all fun/rideable. The top was outstanding though.
