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.
Walked in from Tyndrum. Caught a lift along the track from a gold mine lorry. Snow level at 600m. Ascended via Central Gully. Effected roped ascent of inexperienced but over optimistic colleague! Makes the summit, contoured back to Stob Dearg arete and back to the ascent path. Home after dark in time for tea (1915).
