Two climbers lost on Ben Nevis have been found following a late night rescue attempt.
Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team sent out its helicopter this evening to try and find the pair on Tower Ridge, but has had to turn back due to low cloud and poor visibility.
The helicopter crew then dropped off 17 members of the team who began to climb the mountain, while a further group of team members waited at the summit to offer additional assistance.
Just after 12.30am it was confirmed that the missing climbers had been found safe and well.
Neither was injured, and they were being walked back down the mountain by rescue crews.
