Climbers feared to be caught in avalanche on Ben NevisSeveral climbers are feared to have been caught up in an avalanche on the UK's highest mountain, Police Scotland says. I hope they all found safe. Sadly the weather has been forecasted for a few days, so the question must be asked why were they up there? I hope they are found safe and that non of the rescue services are injured during this rescue in extremely bad weather. There should be a ban on climbers trying to get to the summits of these mountains now with all the recent deaths not only that putting people’s lives at risk who are trying to rescue them 😬😬

'Swiss climbers' died in Ben Nevis avalancheThree climbers died and fourth is seriously injured in hospital following Tuesday's incident. How very sad. But compared to the Alps isn't Nevis a bit of a 'wet hill'? Certainly enough to kill them, an avalanche is an avalanche no matter where you encounter it, the attraction must have been Scotland itself. Hills *AND* sea in the same glance.🥀x RIP Thoughts are with those who were willing to risk their lives to save people engaging in this dangerous hobby.. .. I just don't understand why people do this when severe weather warnings have been issued
