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.

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

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

Alone. I departed Arrochar and Tarbet Railway Station at 11:25 and walked along the road to the road junction to Succoth and then up a path WNW, then NW. I ascended via Cruach nam Miseag to Beinn Narnain, then Beinn Ime and Beinn Luibhean. The descent was via Allt a’ Bhalachain. I reached Arrochar and Tarbet Station at 19:40. It was warm with no rain. There was mist on Beinn Ime.pwbellarby10/09/1985
