Arguably the best climb in the area and used in the Tour of Britain. Cairn o' Mount ascends about 330m over 3.4km with an average gradient of 9.7%. The road summit is at 441m, if you decide to get off and walk up to the full summit it's 455m.
The road is good in either direction, the final ascent is slightly shorter from the north.
