Description

Climb two stunning peaks in Scotland during this memorable 1-day privately guided adventure!

Ben Arthur, commonly known as the “Cobbler,” is one of the more interesting climbs in the Scottish Southern Highlands. Classified as a Corbett due to its height of 884 meters (2,900 feet), it does not have the altitude of its nearby Munro neighbors. As a result, it is overlooked by many Munro baggers. However, they are missing out on a true gem of a climb, with craggy landscapes, impressive drops, breathtaking views, and an outstanding adventurous top.

If the conditions are favorable and you have a solid level of fitness, we can combine our ascent of Ben Arthur with the nearby Munro of Beinn Nairnain (926 meters, 3,038 feet) by taking a circular route. Beinn Nairnain is another interesting peak that is a highlight of the area for its fun route and spectacular views.

Book now for an exciting day spent among the awe-inspiring landscapes of the Scottish Highlands, as we climb to the top of two of the region’s most memorable hills.

About the guide

Paul

Mountain Leader

Over the years, I have dabbled in a wide range of professional endeavors ranging from the financial services sector to brewing beer. Trial and error eventually led me to hill walking, where I discovered my love of the outdoors and thus began my mountain guiding career.

While I would describe myself as a mountaineer at heart, I have always found it difficult to choose any one outdoor activity. Each offers a unique experience and the possibility for a perfect day given the right people, conditions and location.

I am a self-professed "eternal student" who is passionate about constant personal and professional growth. My curiosity has led me to acquire a number of outdoor qualifications across multiple disciplines. It also drives my desire to travel far and wide on a regular basis.

Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to visit Norway, India, Tanzania, Kenya, Morocco and Nepal, though I must admit the Alps will always hold a special place in my heart. At home, I put my love of learning to good use as an advocate for outdoor education initiatives in Scotland.

I look forward to learning alongside you on your upcoming adventure!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
