Out and back from Arroachar Village Hall. 1 of 1thekirkie pirate08/09/2023
From north Cobbler peak, headed down to Beach a' Mhaim, followed path for a while to Beinn Ime then to the left followed a new deer fence to a gate just at the base of Beinn Luibhean. Straight up to summit. Great views, followed track down to A83. Parked at Honeymoon Bridge Forestry park, the walk down the A83 was scary to car park. Cracking day, except for the A83 walk. Never again. Company: Soloiandesbottes01/09/2023
Awful weather. Did not clear until the descent. With Janice and Brian.Play2End04/11/2022
Beinn Ime & Beinn Luibhean from Butterbridge. Much shorter route than from Arrochar, not technically challenging but relentlessly steep both up and down.TRG31828/09/2022
From small car in South. Steep but straight forward. Short outing with friends.sarahk17/09/2022
David & Ruth Wolfe's last Corbett. Wet day, good views from top. Done from west. Faint path along river to col. Path higher up to top.tallblond03/08/2022
Parked in 1st car park to South. Do not go over scissor style but through 2nd metal gate crossing new deer fence.geoffreycurnock19/06/2022
From small free CP to south. Good path to start (to the Munros), leave that (over new deer fence) to climb south ridge - hint of a path in parts - easy grass. Do not follow new way-markers - wander all overcarole engel04/06/2022
On way to WBMC meet at Fort William. Deep new snow. Climbed via S ridge. Solo.John Lee19/02/2022
Straight up from road ; rained most of the way up and back, but occasional glimpses of Beinn Ime, and summit mostly clearRockdoctor02/10/2021
Left Butterbridge mid-afternoon, cold wind and mainly sunny. Circuit of Beinn Luibhean, Beinn Ime and Beinn Chorranach. Lovely light as very clear.Heather TS22/05/2021

From Glen Croe, standard route up and down. A grassy, pathless slog for two thirds of the ascent. Enjoyed the summit even though the bigger hills were cloud covered with occasional glimpses of more.Chris Mac15/10/2019
With Sue from A83 on way from Edinburgh, sunny and showers.Frank12/10/2019

From the Cobbler to this lonely summit. Solo. Descended SE then SW to the car at the bridge 243060. Under 6 hours and just over 6 miles.bolton22/05/2018
From the Cobbler. Descended well made path to point 628, then point 637, contoured pathless SW flank of Beinn Ime to the col, then straightforward but lumpy plod to the obvious summit. Then down steep grassy slopes to Rest and be Thankful.Owen B13/05/2018
Me and Colin. Beautiful day.iansm26/01/2018
Arrochar - Cruach nam Miseag - Beinn Narnain - Beinn Ime - Beinn Luibhean - The Cobbler N Peak - The Cobbler - Arrochar. Tough, pathless descent of Beinn Ime's SW face followed by a mostly pathless climb from the Bealach a'Mhargaidh is rewarded by a summit poised on the edge with remarkable views down to the A83.Mark Jackson20/08/2017
From Beinn Ime followed the path towards Beinn Narnain a little way before descending to Bealach a'Mhargaidh. Ascended via E ridge, weaving a way between the crags. With JT. Descended back to Bealach a'Mhargaidh and then down to Butterbridge on a bagger's path. From Butterbridge, walked to Abyssinia bothy. With JT.Sprog25/07/2017
With Ikuko after The Cobbler and by traversing the flanks of Beinn Ime. 10.6 miles and 4443 ft ascent. Wow!!GWR Chris03/05/2017

A great short walk from Butterbridge, perfect for a winter's day when the morning was thick fog and drizzle. Just time to scamper up and down after the rain stopped, and catch brilliant sunset views at the end of the day. The whole walk is on easy, relatively dry ground with a decent, faint path all the way. Red kite seen in the coire.Gill19/12/2016

Clambered over to here after Ben Ime. Fine spot for lunch just underneath the summit 'shelf'. Had the hill to myself. Poor choice of route back crossing the gullies back to the saddle between the cobbler and Narnain.GravelMonkey23/05/2014

Butterbridge- Beinn Luibhean- Ben Ime- Bealach a' Mhaim- Butterbridge walk with Pete. Used the path then quickly onto the ridge, very steep in place. We had views from the summit but cloud was starting to roll onto the mountains to the S. With Petepwheeler26/05/2013
Done before the Munro. Lovely rocky summit.Play2End01/05/2013
Evening ascent after work, while my wife was at her Book Group! Directissima route up and down via main road through Glen Croe. Great views at the top.milngavie_kenny13/06/2012
direct ascent from Glen Croe. On my own, hill quiet apart from ravens. barely 2.5 hrs up and down. Strangely peaceful at summit despite traffic noise.niallp09/06/2012
