Description

We climbed Ben Vorlich from just South of Ardlui. Up via Little Hills and down via North ridge. Very hard to find the path at the start and later in the snow. Amazing views of snow capped peaks and above the clouds at times. Ended up fighting bracken at the end but down before dusk.

Area : Inveraray to Crianlarich (Ben Lui)

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.
