A CLIMBER who had become separated from their party had to be taken to safety by the Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team (CMRT).
In a post on social media on Sunday morning, the CMRT explained the climber was found in the boulder field of Coire an t-Sneachda.
The person had become separated from their party and was unable to walk due to the extreme weather conditions.

The CMRT said: “Full team call out last night (December 30) at 17.30 for a climber who had become separate from their party.
“The climber was located in the boulder field of Coire an t-Sneachda very cold and suffering from exhaustion.”
It comes after we previously told how two people stranded in Glen Tilt also had to be escorted to safety by mountain rescue teams.
The CMRT said that the person was “unable to walk due to exhaustion and added: “After some rewarming we packaged the climber into our stretcher using blizzard blankets and heat pads and carried them out to our Can-Am that was waiting in Coire Cas.
“Everyone safe and back at base 22.30.”
