It was a great climbing day. Even though Arran's mountains are not Munros, visiting them feels like visiting the highest mountains in the world thanks to the amazing, rugged summits, dizzying ridges and sometimes risky scrambles. We went to Arran without a car because the ferry was fully booked. It means that instead of starting at Glen Rosa, we had to walk 2 miles more from Brodick Ferry Terminal. We pitched our tent at Glen Rosa camping, probably one of the most beautiful camping spots I've seen, but also the most midge-infested. From there we started our walk along the scenic Glen Rosa to the waterfall. There we climbed up the waterfall until we reached a terribly boggy plateau. It was long and wet ascent to the Beinn Nuis summit (792m), but also not very steep or difficult. The view from the top was incredible. We could see all the peaks we planned to conquer that day, and it looked a bit intimidating. The ridge between Bein Nuis and Beinn Tarsuinn was quite long, but also wide and relatively flat, with only a few places where we had to do some mild scrambling. Then we reached an amazing rock formation Old Man of Tarsuinn, and soon after, the peak of this magnificent mountain (826m). Views from the top of this mountain were probably even better. Since it was more or less halfway through our walk, we could see the ridge which we came through, but also the incredibly jagged and rough ridge of A'Chir in front of us. We didn't plan to climb it because it is a very difficult ridge so our daughter probably wouldn't be able to do it. Besides, we didn't have ropes or headgear with us. A'Chir was standing in the way of our next target, Cìr Mhòr, so we had to traverse its interesting, rocky slope but to do it, we had to descend from the summit of Beinn Tarsuinn. This wasn't an easy climb down, basically a downward scramble all the way to the bealach below. Super fun! Traversing the A'Chir wall wasn't very tricky, the only difficulty was to establish that we were going the right way. At this point, we were all quite tired and we still had around 200 meters to climb to Cìr Mhòr peak. Views from it were brilliant, not only to all the way we went but also to the mountain we did earlier this year - Caisteal Abhail and the famous Witch Step ridge. From Cìr Mhòr it was a relatively easy (though quite steep) climb down to Glen Rosa, and a very long walk back to the campsite with the sun setting behind mountains we conquered. It was an amazing experience of the beautiful and wild landscapes we went through.
