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.
Although I had climbed these two mountains together before, I wanted to find a better route back down than the one I used the first time I climbed them, as I was planning to put them on as a Meetup event later in the week. I was planning to just walk up to the Bealach a'Mhaim betweem Beinn Narnain and Beinn Ime, but a friend of mine wanted to climb Liubhean and Ime, so I said I'd take her on this route. We'd both been walking the day before and my friend was particularly tired, but managed the route no problem. The weather was quite overcast unfortunately. We found the path back that I'd been hoping to find, and on the way back we met two elderly men, one of them in his 80s with Parkinson's who'd just climbed Beinn Ime.
