9h 29m of daylight. Golden hour ends 08:14 and starts 15:50. From the summit you see the sun 07:11 to 16:53.
The Cobbler, also called Ben Arthur, reaches 884m (2,900ft) above the head of Loch Long. It has three rocky tops: the North Peak, the Centre Peak and the South Peak, giving it a jagged outline unlike its rounder neighbours. Beinn Narnain lies 1.5km to the north-east and Beinn Ime 2.7km to the north. It is a Corbett and a Marilyn.
The usual route starts at Succoth by Loch Long and climbs a path through forest and along the Allt a' Bhalachain past the Narnain Boulders. You then climb into the corrie between the peaks and up to the col between the North Peak and Centre Peak.
The true summit is a rock block on the Centre Peak. To reach it you crawl through a window in the rock, called the Needle, then step onto an exposed ledge and climb to the top. It is a short but exposed move, and many walkers stop below it.
