Mountain Description
Beinn Narnain, which sits above Arrochar at the head of Loch Long, is a rocky topped hill. It has three ridges, a short broad ridge WNW to Bealach a' Mhaim connecting to Beinn Ime and Ben Arthur, a long knobbly ridge NE to A'Chrois (848m), which is not a usual ascent route, and a craggy SE ridge. The direct ascent route from Succoth leads to the SE ridge and this route takes you over and through rocky outcrops (not really scrambling) to the flat stony summit.

Walked on 29/8/08 my second munro conquered. Cloud base was sitting at about 800m so views from top where non existent, and finding the summit was done by following size 11 treads in the mud. Was breaking in new boots so will return to do Beinn Ime next week, hope the weather clears to give me better veiws.

Done after The Cobbler on a fine day on 18 may, 2008. Weather ranged from quite hot to muggy with a cooler feel at the summits. The hill is understated in the books but is a delight & a challenge in equal measure. The descent via the spearhead captures the attention & is an awesome sight to look back upon.

My first Munro. Climbed with Bill(Bear)Anderson on a nice sunny day. Went directly up by the front following a small waterfall. The top was very cold and very windy. Sun came back on descent.. Sanies and soup tasted great at the cairn. Going up was fine. Coming down my knees were in great pain !!! (kept Bill back a while) Apart from the pain, it was a great day.
