A climber has been left with serious spinal injuries after falling hundreds of feet while climbing the UK's highest mountain.
The unnamed mountaineer was ascending Ben Nevis' Green Gully with a friend on Saturday when he plunged from the north face, prompting a callout from Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team and a Coastguard helicopter.
He sustained a number of serious injuries, including a dislocated hip, and was airlifted to Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital for further treatment.
