Ben Lomond, Ptarmigan ridge

A walker died after falling approximately 1,000ft from the Ptarmigan ridge on Ben Lomond in winter conditions. He was airlifted from the scene by Royal Navy Sea King helicopter. The incident prompted Lomond Mountain Rescue Team to warn walkers about the continued winter hazards on Scottish mountain tops despite milder conditions at lower elevations.
