The Cobbler
21 July 2007
It was a fairly cloudy morning as I headed for the Arrochar Alps but
at least the cloud was above the summit tops. At the end of the
forest on the east side of the A83 in Glen Croe, I found a small
parking area which was capable of holding around five vehicles. It
was empty when I arrived.
A path, wet and boggy in places, was followed up the south side of the
stream that flowed between The Cobbler and Beinn Luibhean. Higher up
the path followed a tributary that headed towards the bealach east of
the summit of The Cobbler. It wasn't necessary to go to the bealach
so I headed directly to the crag which is the highest point on The
Cobbler. Two other guys were already on the crag but had decided
against going to the actual top.
I climbed onto the crag, crawled through a hole and onto the top of
the rock where I had a 360 degree view. Once I had descended the
crag I had a coffee break and watched a few walkers climb to the
summit of The Cobbler. Others decided the short climb wasn't for
them. The descent was by the upward route although I did shorten it
by cutting across the hillside. On my return the car park was full
but I hadn't seen many walkers on my descent route.
Time taken - 2.5 hours.
Distance - 5 kilometres.
Height climbed - 620 metres.
