From the North a long but very steady climb to the top through Leadhills (which has a hotel with some facilities). The descent to Mennock through Wanlockhead is great; fairly wide and steady so for can ride fast with some confidence, although there are many potholes to watch out for and the surface can be loose and gravelly at times so there's a few bends to be wary of.

#63 of 100 greatest climbs in Britain compiled by Simon Warren. It is a superb climb that initially tracks the valley floor before beginning to ascend up to Wanlockhead. It is overly steep and offers sections of respite along the way. Beautiful.

An epic challenge. Might not look too bad on a map, but it's long, tall and hairy
