Ben Stack

Monday, 1 September 2025

A woman in her 50s fell and broke her ankle in three places while descending Ben Stack in September. She was rescued by a dozen members of Assynt Mountain Rescue Team, who carried out a rapid evacuation from the western slopes at approximately 1300 feet. Her husband is now fundraising £5000 for the team to purchase equipment and training.
