Mountain casualty

A name, which was associated with 5 deaths last winter (2006/7) has unfortunately cropped up again for the wrong reasons.

Coire an t-SneachdaCoire an t-Sneachda, in the Cairngorm Mountains south of Inverness offers challenging climbs, but is quite unforgiving. A walker suffered serious injuries in the area yesterday, and was airlifted to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness. He did not survive.

  3. O no, that's tragic.  Yet knowing all the risks people continue to reach for the summit.  Such is the torch of the inconquerable human spirit.  CATHY

  4. I wish they wouldn't climb that thing.  Sometimes just because it is there is not good enough excuse.  Maybe they should change the name to Suicide Mountain.  Gerry
