A number of people were forced to be rescued from a Scots mountain last night during arctic conditions as they waded through "waist deep" snow in the pitch black darkness.
Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team was initially alerted to two mountaineers in difficulty coming back from their descent down Coire Raibert. During the searches, the crew were then made aware of another party of two that had been reported overdue on the route.
All four people were located in the dark and led to safety by the rescue team amid 'significant snow fall' in the area. Fortunately there were no injuries reported.
