After revisiting the main summit, took path down to col, didn't like the look of that route so descended path beside it to access S ridge, good path all the way with 4 brief scrambles, the lowest most difficult, the highest most exposed (look for nice big quartz crystal on otherwise fairly holdless little slab). Noted an abseil anchor above the col, looked a bit old... Pleased to have got this done, my last difficult HHB.RHW08/04/2023

A wet day. Spent 4 hours watching my companions successfully bag this one. Direct communication proved difficult for climbers. Turns out quite helpful to have another team member on the col who can relay messages. Wet climb is only for those who desperately need to bag a SimmOh no I forgot...16/08/2021
A 4 hour epic in deteriorating weather with abseil ropes jamming, but hey we’re safely down now…BaggerGutt16/08/2021
Run over the three Cobbler summits and Beinn Ime. Ascended this from S at Grade 3, easy enough in the dry but wouldn't fancy reversing it in the wet.quadbarrel21/07/2021

Tricky little scramble with three awkward moves, easier with long legs, not much exposure thoughalda28/05/2020

All three tops starting with SE ridge of S Peak, over the top and abseil down the 'normal' route. would not have fancied climbing down. Rock a bit wet though weather fine for our afternoon start.dickscroop21/09/2017
Took a good look at this one after descending the path to its saddle from the main top. It looks clear enough where the easiest route is, but must be a grade 2/3 scramble and I didn't fancy it as the rock was wet, there was no-one around, and I would have had to descend the same way I came up. Maybe next time...Mark Jackson20/08/2017

Scrambled up and down from the col. Subsequently saw it's graded diff in IainT's guidebook - sometimes ignorance is bliss. The awkward bit and the exposed bit don't coincide so it didn't feel as hard as that.mae28/05/2016

SUMMIT NOT ATTEMPTED. The path is 30 very steep metres below this summit. The south peak is OK for genuine climbers but it's much harder than the Cobbler main summit tower. If you don't remember visiting the south summit, you definitely didn't.Pete R19/09/2015
