Mountain Description
|
|
|
Beinn a' Choin is the highest peak in a group of hills bordered by Glen Gyle, Glen Arklet and Loch Lomond. This mountain group is in the form of and inverted "Y" with the two southern ridges linking to Maol Mor (684m) and Stob an Fhainne (655m) enclosing Corrie Arklet. Both these ridges offer suitable access routes. These are rough hills with many crags and rocky oucrops but they offer few obstacles to climbers as they can mostly be avoided. There is no parking on the road, but the farm may allow parking if asked.

Climbed on 16/4/08, going steeply to the summit via Stob an Fhianne in under two hours with the cloud only covering the tops of the surrounding Munros. I had considered returning along the Maol Mor ridge, but opted instead to drop into Corriearklet Glen and return more directly to the road, by which time the views of the snow-topped Arrochar Alps were wonderful.
