An injured climber has been saved by a mountain rescue team in the Cairngorms.

The Cairngorm MRT were sent out following reports of a person falling on the mountain at around 4pm on Wednesday.

A helicopter was launched during the rescue mission before it transported the casualty to Raigmore Hospital, Inverness.

A second climber, not believed to be injured, was also safely removed from the mountain.

The CMRT tweeted: "Injured climber inbound to Raigmore Hospital, Inverness on Rescue Aircraft 951.

"Climber's partner may be cragfast on route.

"CMRT will attempt to assist if necessary."

They later added: "2nd climber now safely off crag.

"No update currently available on injured climbers condition.

"CMRT returning to base."

Earlier this week another climber was rescued after he was injured in a fall on the plateau.

The Cairngorm MRT located the missing climber after the incident was reported at around 2.30pm on Sunday.
