Great effort Sean, some time! Thanks for creating the video. Kept me company taking on the virtual ride on zwift, allowing me to see what the real climb looked like. Thanks! 😀🚲
What amazing scenery; bike videos seldom capture the undulation of the hills and the sweat behind riding them as much as this one. Wow I hope you found some time and went and descended it pausing for a few photographs on the way down. That would be a great reward. ⛰🚴♂️
Sean, Im coming over from the States to do the Ride to the Sun (carlisle to Edinburgh) ride. But before hand i want to come up here and ride this also. Looks like you made it up in around half an hour, how cooked were you? did you go down the other side to Applecross then turn and come back? or did you turn from the summit and go back? I am going to be on my own so leaving a car somewhere that i need to return to. Trying to figure out the range. Any thoughts? Is there a place to eat anything in Applecross?
It seems as if one can ride almost normally through a lot of the lower half of the climb but then the second half is flat out savage. Especially kilometre 7, which looks like it averages about 12-13%. Then again, it probably is a lot steeper than the video makes it look What a backdrop this climb has

Really enjoy your '100 climb' rides, pleased to see this new video. Thanks.
That road surface looks shocking, and for a road in the middle of nowhere it was annoyingly busy
Well ... it is just some tarmac laid over old gravel.
Isn’t this road part of the North Coast 500?
Quality vid, I did this back in 2016- got a bit foggy towards the top. You were well lucky with the weather! Good effort
Brilliant! Been up a few times now doesn’t get any easier. Brutal, you made it look easy.
Well done. Looks an Epic climb and one I will have to do.
Well done Sean,awesome job
Wanted to do this ride for a long time, but for today I'll settle for trying it on the smart trainer.
Well done Sean. I can only presume you drove to Bonny Scotland.
If so, how long did it take you? Regards Chris
wow, epic, what a place, genuine highland switchbacks!
crackin effort aswell, 37min, chapeau
