A climber was rescued after falling from a route on Britain’s highest mountain.
The 68-year-old man was on Castle Ridge on Ben Nevis’s North Face yesterday evening when he took a fall.
Members of the Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team were called out to help the climber and treated him at the scene before stretchering him down the Allt a’Mhuilinn path to one of the team’s vehicles.
He was then driven to hospital for further treatment.
Castle Ridge is a grade III winter climb.
