The Tyndrum Corbetts

Had been thinking about doing a round with 2,000m plus of climbing as a fitness test before a trip to Skye, and was between the Arrochar Alp Munros plus The Cobbler, or the 5 Tyndrum Corbetts. In the interests of solitude and some 'new' hills, I opted for the latter. Very poor visibility above circa 600m and 3 brutal (for me!) pathless climbs after Beinn Odhar provided a more than ample challenge. Fenceposts are definitely your friend for every climb except Beinn nam Fuaran if you don't have any visibility. Joined the WHW for the last 4 miles.
An enjoyable day which weirdly felt pretty remote. A single glove and a rare blister the only casualties - bring on Skye

That is an AMAZING time. Took twice that long though admittedly for my 70th birthday...the only way I could get husband to repeat them was by asking for them as a birthday outing. I think the least time anyone who replied to my post (on Scottishhills.com) had done them in was 9 hours

Thank you! Admittedly I was speeded up significantly by the conditions and lack of views, so wasn't really hanging around. Your effort looked like a clearer and more enjoyable day than mine, nice one
