A MAN has died and another person has suffered serious injuries after falling while climbing Ben Nevis.
The man, understood to be in his 20s, fell in the Moonlight Gully area while climbing with another person on Saturday.
Members of the Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team (LMRT) were tasked by Police Scotland to help the two climbers at about 5pm.
The deceased man and his colleague are both believed to have come from England, the Scottish Sun newspaper reports.
A LMRT spokesperson said on social media: “The team treated and rescued one climber with serious injuries who had managed to move further down the hill.
“Due to some very challenging weather conditions, combined with hazardous ground, the team returned Sunday morning to recover the other casualty who was sadly deceased.
“We send our deepest condolences to the family, and would like to offer thanks to the crew of Coastguard Rescue Helicopter R151 and members of Police Scotland MRT North Division.”
