A hiker had to be airlifted to hospital after a horror fall in the Cairngorms.
Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team (CMRT) raced to Loch Etchachan on Monday afternoon after they were alerted by a group of five walkers who witnessed the solo climber fall.
Braemar Mountain Rescue also attended the scene and a Coastguard rescue helicopter was requested. Three team members from Glenmore Lodge MRT were also airlifted in to assist.
