Just climbed these 2 and threw in the Cobbler for good measure. maybe shouldn't have though. feel like i am going to faint and its 4 hours after completion. Done the route in reverse, Ime first on a really wet and wild day,the route was very marshy, was about 40 mph winds at the top. then climbed Narnain not too bad getting up but then the cloud and wind came in, thought at 1 point i would get blown off. Got lost for about 20 mins at the top as the fog was terrible. got back down and then headed for the cobbler. good route took about 6.5 hours.

On return, instead of NE heading at 8 take the 'new' path that zig zags back to the car park. The return leg down the old cable railway can be punishing after a long day.

In my opinion Beinn Narnain is a fine mountain and the best of the Arrochar munros.The south east ridge is rocky and craggy in places, with several false summits to spur you on. The spearhead is impressive and it's good fun clambering through the crags near the top. Enjoy.

An easy climb after negotiating the route from Succoth. We intended to climb Narnain as well, but decided to leave it for another day. Snow and ice at the top, but only patchy - date 23-04-05

Just came back from climbing these two (22nd April 05). As a novice (these were my 4th and 5th) I found it quite a hard slog. Straight into a hard gradient - saying that - we were passed by a decent bloke a bit older than us!! Beinn Narnain I found to be by far the more interesting of the 2. Great fun up around the top and just a wee bit hairy!
Anyway, on the route back we took the right (SW) fork at the weir (NN280051) as there is a path which is less of a gradient than the suggest route, and it now comes out at the car park at Succoth.
