The Arrochar Alps provide some excellent and very easily accessible winter climbing on turfy schist that can come into condition very quickly following a few days of cold weather. They can however, especially on the Cobbler, equally rapidly fall out of condition in sunshine and warmth. This area also includes the small number of winter opportunities on Ben Lomond and the hills running north to Crianlarich.
Sunny, cloud free, light winds in AM, snow showers in PM.?Variable snow - soft in Chockstone , firmer in Great. Routes getting thin, so Great gully entrance was a fiddly tech 3 move, rock step above probably the same?
