Crairiehill from Ardoch

Scotland, scotland

At just 2.8km, Crairiehill from Ardoch is short but deceptively intense — 96m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 3.5% disguises ramps of 9.7% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. Located in Scotland, Scotland.
