The Incident Well - Dumyat Cliffs on Mountain Bikes

This is where some of us from the Stirling Mountain Bike Club, Scotland tried to find a route down the cliffs on the south side of Dumyat; with darkness closing in, we had to walk the bikes back up the hill to get out!

zZz - I was on a 24 lb K2 that day - not ideal. However, I have a nice santa cruz bullit with 2010 Fox Fork R36 Float with the Qr20 that I sometimes ride AM or DH. Triple crown forks are next to useless for all mountain because you can't get the tight angle steering.

yes, that's the vertical cliffs that a walker died on a few years ago...

erm yes. Glen was standing right on the edge of one of the big cliffs that you can see from the alva road above BlairLogie. We had to climb back out and then down blairlogie glen - was dark when we got home!!!

cheers

There are ways to get up and down the southern slopes of Dumyat safely. You really have to known where to go though.

Oh lol. :)

For non-local viewers, Dumyat drops on the south side about 350m in not much over 500m. It's very steep!

Was this the Burnwarroch gully?
