Climber sustains spinal injuries after falling hundreds of feet on Ben Nevis

A climber has been left with serious spinal injuries after falling hundreds of feet while climbing the UK's highest mountain.

He sustained a number of serious injuries, including a dislocated hip, and was airlifted to Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital for further treatment.
