This was spectacular, I believe this mountain is just short of Munro status and is known as one of a group of mountains known as The Arrochar Alps, fantastic. Really enjoying this new hobbie. :D

Was on five of the 'so called' smaller tops at the wek-end...Corbetts and Grahams....or when I were a lad they were fondly known as Wee Ronnies and Elsies...all are good value and well worth a visit. Like your Cobbler, on two of mine, there was a choice of three summit points...all around the same height :D I don't really find much difference with the effort in reaching them, irrespective of height/rating/list group, for any of these mountain/hill categories.
