From the Arrochar Alps to Ben Lui, this area is home to nine Munros. Half of the peaks in the area are within the boundaries of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, while the others lie to the west. The three summits of The Cobbler (884m) contain some of the best climbing in the Southern Highlands while Ben Lui in winter looks positively Alpine. Access is relatively straightforward from the A83, A82 or A85.
An ascent of Ben Vane starting in the dark from Inveruglas and following the access road up towards Loch slow leaving the track and ascending Ben Vane via the east ridge poor visibility from the start light rain later on when descending the same way
