Skye Mountain Rescue Team Advice
01/06/11
Sadly there was a fatal accident on Cioch Direct (Lower Cioch Buttress in Coire Lagan) yesterday. The rescue team have advised climbers to stay away from Cioch Direct as there is a considerable amount of loose rock on the route. It would be wise to avoid all nearby routes for the immediate future as the rockfall was quite extensive. You can read the full version of the advice here: http://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/news/warning-issued-to-climbers-after-skye-rockfall/004222/
Our condolences to everyone involved in and affected by this accident. Stay safe out there.
