An injured climber has been airlifted to hospital after spending the night stuck on a Scots mountain with three pals. The party found themselves in difficulty on Coire nan Lochan in Glencoe but lost phone signal as they tried to phone police on 999 late on Thursday.
With fading light, the group decided to sit tight in cold and wet conditions before again contacting the emergency services in the morning. Volunteers from Glencoe Mountain Rescue were tasked to help the stricken climbers at around 6am on Friday.
The injured climber, who had suffered a lower leg injury, given pain relief at the scene before being taken to hospital by helicopter with the others taken down to safety.
