Ben Nevis

Sunday, 8 June 2014

Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team responded to two incidents on Ben Nevis. A novice walker became cragfast on steep crags in Coire Eòghainn after straying from the summit in poor weather and was rescued by Royal Navy Sea King helicopter. Earlier the same day, another walker was injured in a fall from the Carn Mòr Dearg Arête and was airlifted to hospital.

Outcome: crag-fast walker airlifted to safety by Sea King; injured walker airlifted to Belford Hospital, Fort William
