Mountain Description
|
|
|
The conical peak of Beinn Ime towers over the head of Glen Kinglas. From the N and E it is a craggy mountain, and the W slopes are steep. The normal routes up Beinn Ime are on its S side, either on its SSE ridge from Bealach a' Mhaim which links to Beinn Narnain and Ben Arthur, or from Glen Kinglas to the col between Beinn Ime and Beinn Luibhean to the SW. Either way the final ascent involves scrambling through boulders and rocky outcrops to attain the summit.

Beinn Ime and Ben Vane
|
Some handwork may be required on the SE shoulder of Ben Vane, but is very easily negotiated. Care should taken on the summit ridge of Beinn Ime when icy. No real difficulties on the route, but a fair amount of climbing.

At the top of Beinn Ime. The photo timer went off a bit previous. First Munro alone and really rather enjoyed making my own pace, or lack of it!

Climbed from Arrochar, and over the Bealach a' Mhaim. Cloud was at 2300 feet, although as we went into cloud my GPS began running low on batteries. With a very rough path to follow, we decided at about 2800 feet to descend and do the more familiar Cobbler. About 100 feet down, the views opened up, the sun came out and we could see our route, so we just ended up going back up! Reached the summit at 11.40am and did the Cobbler afterwards. Although a little boggy, it's a great hill.

Climbed with a friend from work. We took the long route from Arrochar up to the Bealach a' Mhaim and onto the summit. Susan's legs were giving her a bit of bother, so we took it really easy and after over 4 and a half hours reached the summit. Views were incredible and weather was superb.
A great day out.

Climbed with Steve & Marty. Tough day, first attempt at more than one Munro in a single push. 2 cars used, one left at Arrocher, the other driven around to Rest & Be Thankful and
left there. Ascended Ime first virtually straight up, slightly bearing left to weave through crags and scree. Steeper route than we had originally planned but got some snow work
higher up, Intermitent clear views on summit, but fairly mild (first lunch on a summit this year). Hard slog up the grass slopes to the boulder line then it became much more enjoyable, clambering over the rocks. Gave Marty a crash course in self arrest. No need for crampons, the snow was too sugary and full of water. Went on to Narnaine immediately
after.
