Hiking the Cobbler | Ben Arthur | Full Route | Scotland

The Cobbler is an 886.7-metre (2,909 ft) mountain located near the head of Loch Long in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is a Corbett, and is an important site for rock climbing in the Southern Highlands. The mountain is part of the Arrochar Alps. It is named for its large rocky summit features which are supposed to represent a cobbler bending over his last. The features are visible many miles away from the mountain. Despite the mountain falling short of Munro height, due to its summit features and ease of access, it is one of the most popular mountains in Scotland. The Cobbler has three summits: the middle one is the highest at 886.7m (2,909 ft). The top is crowned by a rocky outcrop that marks the true summit.The north summit stands at a height of 870.7m (2,857 ft) and the south summit stands at a height of 858.4m (2,816 ft). The three summits are tightly grouped around a small corrie (glacial cirque), but their form is due to large-scale landslipping, not ice erosion. The North Peak is deeply fissured, with climbing routes caving up through it. The Summit and South Peak are the remnants of a ridge which has visibly slipped away into Glen Croe, making much of the west side hazardous or impassable. #travelvlog #hiking #mountains #thecobbler #benarthur #arrochar #lochlong #mountainview #mountain #walking #dayout #insaneviews #views #nature #glasgow #visitscotland #scotland
