i wouldn't be too worried about the climbs. Around Torridon and Lochinver there are some pretty steep fuckers and it can be quite unrelenting at times - you can rack up some amount of elevation without doing any hills longer than 300 meters in length (bealach na ba aside)
It doesn't sound like you're gonna be near there so as long as you've got decent touring gears, you should be fine. Hills > traffic, for sure.
