Bealach na Bà is just an iconic climb, it has to ridden off you are in the area. Be prepared to stop as there are campervans and cars in both directions and sometimes you may need let them pass both up and down. Be aware that the weather at the top may be totally different to the start of the climb.
Its a tough old climb and should be treated with respect.
