The Devil’s Beef Tub climb from Moffat is a long, scenic ascent into the Southern Uplands, averaging 5% over 7 km with sections reaching 10%. The wide, smooth road rises steadily through a dramatic natural amphitheatre of hills, offering expansive views and a consistent gradient ideal for pacing. With little shelter, wind can be a major factor—especially near the top. The climb never gets too steep, but it’s relentless, so settle into a rhythm early. Reaching the summit delivers a peaceful, windswept high point in the heart of the Borders.

Not steep but it is quite long and on a slightly busy road so keep an eye out for traffic.

"slightly busy" is relative. It is slightly busy for this region, but virtually traffic free if your from south of Lancaster.
the 40 odd mile loop is on to the turn for the Talla reservoir, and over to the A701 Selkirk to Moffat Road, and the glorious ride back down to Moffat. one of the best cycling loops in the whole of southern Scotland
