Location: Kenmore And District, Perth and Kinross, Scotland, United Kingdom
The Glen Quaich climb from Garrow is a brutally steep and remote ascent, averaging 11% with savage pitches topping 17%. The narrow, rough road winds sharply through open moorland, with loose gravel and tight bends demanding full concentration. There’s little chance to settle into a rhythm—the gradient kicks hard and keeps coming. Stay in your lowest gear, keep your weight forward, and grind it out one corner at a time. It’s a wild, punishing climb—but the solitude and raw Highland beauty make every pedal stroke worth it.
