The 66-year-old man was on the Carn Mor Dearg Arete when the tragedy happened on Sunday.
A hillwalker fell 130ft to his death in front of his family from one of the flanks that leads to Ben Nevis.
It is believed he was with two of his sons, who were among the group of four. Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team sent 10 members after being called out around noon but the cloud conditions improved enough to allow a coastguard helicopter to retrieve the man’s body and his fellow walkers. Iain Murray, leader of Lochaber MRT, said: “He fell a considerable distance in a very steep place. I believe he had two of his sons with him and so this is particularly tragic event for them.”
In a separate incident, the coastguard helicopter from Inverness also airlifted a man and a woman in their 20s from the same area at around 3pm. The walkers were taken by the helicopter to Torlundy. One of the hikers had become cragfast after becoming nervous about continuing. Yesterday, the funeral of mountain guide Dave Fowler – who along with two others fell to his death in Glencoe – took place at Inverness Crematorium.Top news stories today Don't miss the latest news from around Scotland and beyond - Sign up to our daily newsletter here .
