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.
Parked at power station car park and followed power station roads and tracks to Ben Vane. Top was very snowy and icy. Used ice axe. Reached 800m but was a small cornice over the path. Snow was melting and had snowed a little on way up so decided to descend. Also started to snow more on descent.
