Rescuers said the climbers camped behind the CIC Hut

Rescuers are asking for help from anyone who may have seen two climbers on Britain’s highest mountain.

Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team issued the plea today for sightings of the pair over the weekend.

A team spokesperson said: “We are looking for some assistance in respect of two missing climbers on Ben Nevis.”

The rescue team appealed to anyone who was climbing or walking on Ben Nevis over the past weekend who may have seen a couple in their 20s who camped in a green tent immediately behind the CIC hut to get in touch.

The hut lies at the foot of the main North Face climbs of Ben Nevis, near the head of Allt a’ Mhuilinn.

The team spokesperson said: “If you have any information can you please call Police Scotland on 101 and ask for Fort William police.”
