Gorgeous, technical, astonishing, bouldery and difficult. All words that adequately describe the Lairig Ghru from a mountain bike perspective.

Yes, there are times when it becomes so bouldery you'll likely need to carry, but the payoffs are well worth it, both in terms of the sense of accomplishment riding the thing and also in the ridiculously, epically picturesque environment.
