Road cycling
The Sheabhal climb from Castlebay on the Isle of Barra is short but brutally steep, averaging 10% with steep ramps peaking near 13-15%. The single-track road rises sharply from the coast, offering stunning views of the bay and Atlantic as you grind upwards. The surface is decent but exposed to wind and weather, so conditions can change quickly. The panoramic summit views make every effort worth it.
