    Tips

    April 10, 2025

    The Crow Road from Gonachan Cottage offers a gentler approach to this iconic Scottish climb, averaging 4–5% over around 5 km with occasional ramps up to 8%. The road surface is smooth and wide, rising steadily through open moorland with far-reaching views as you gain height. The gradient allows you to find a rhythm early and hold it, making it ideal for steady tempo riding. Wind can still be a factor, especially near the summit, so keep your effort measured. It’s a scenic, satisfying climb that rewards pacing and persistence.
