yeah looking at it , its the type of hard road I like, can see ahead, places to stop if needed, and I can be in wee gear and just grind up it.

Looki at their site and their recommended minimum gear ratio, I'm not sure if I have it or not . I really need to get clued up

Count the teeth on your small chainring and the biggest cog on your cassette.

I've done two of the pistes and although the final stretch of the Glenshee climb is relentless, you should be able to get up it on a compact. The Cairngorm ski centre only has a couple of sharp ramps.
Can't speak for the Lecht, though.
