Some seriously steep climbs.

Rocky fun if you're willing to put the effort in
Good points:
White hill section is a 2 way section that's no longer sign posted, natural rocky climb from either side with challenging rocky sections to get over although usually an easier alternative route round unless it's been wet.
Can easily link White Hill, Cairn William (Granite top) and both downhill lines together to produce a good afternoon or evening out on the bike. Downhill tracks can be taken with care on an XC bike although I managed to blow most of the air out my forks at one point.
If it's quiet then returning over Granite Top trail in the wrong direction is an option to save the fire road return to the main car park.
Cracking views from the top
Bad points:
Car parks are just car parks, no facilities
White Hill section is no longer signposted
