Another, avalanche accident on Anoch Mor (10 Jan 2005)
Monday, June 2nd, 2008
On the 29 December, 2004, exactly six years to the day (when Scotland’s full-time mountain safety officer Roger Wild ‘lost’ four clients), another avalanche accident occured on Anoch Mor. The local rescue team and a helicopter were called out to rescue two climbers, Mike Pescod and ANother (no further details available – yet) one of whom is reportedly injured (?). This is thought to have been a BMG lead incident (it is quite obvious that the names and possible occupation of one of the climbers is being surpressed). One rescuer, luckily, only broke his leg during the rescue. Interestingly, both UIAGM / IFMGA guides are giving ‘winter mountain safety’ talks at the Clachaig Inn in, March, 2005…
