  • black grade logo Black Route
  • Carrying on from the top of the Red Route, is the fiendishly difficult Lactic Ladder climb. The trails skirts around the back of the Duke of Sutherland monument, before plunging down Scotlands longest section of continuous downhill singletrack. Big fast jumps and drops on loose gravel are interlaced with rock shoots. Lower down is a relentless section technical of features. The trail then connects back with the Red Route for the final swooping down hill. For expert mountain bikers.
