that was a great day! so great that i struggled to find a parking space as the arrochar car park (yes, the ticket machine never worked). on that day me and my friends decided to have a route: arrochar -beinn narnain - the cobbler -arrochar. unfortunately due to 'technical reasons' 2 of my friends had to go back to arrochar sooner so the cobbler was climbed by me and my partner only. was nice anyway :) i didnt dare trying to climb the pinacle, she wanted to but i managed to persuade her lol i am such a pinacle coward :)

Nice pictures blueyed - no shame in not getting right to the top. I've read lots of reports of people changing their mind when actually faced with the last bit. I've yet to get up there so don't know exactly how I'd feel about it.
