Police named who died in Cairngorms fall

Cairngorms
Cairngorms

Police have confirmed that the climber who died after a 600ft fall in the Cairngorms was Corin Castle, 21, from Kent.

Mr Castle died from his injuries at the scene on Friday, July 4 after falling from Number Three Buttress near Loch Einich.

The death is not being treated as suspicious and a report has been submitted to the the Procurator Fiscal.

A major rescue operation was launched to find Mr Castle after his fall was reported by a friend who he had been climbing with.

The RAF Rescue 137 helicopter assisted along with members of the Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team.

The helicopter crew were praised for their efforts in the immediate aftermath of the fall, having pushed their skills to the limit as they searched for Mr Castle, who had suffered serious head injuries.

They managed to locate him in the Glen Einich area after battling turbulence, high winds, rain and mist but a winchman lowered to rescue the young climber found that he already died.

Members of the Cairngorm Mountain Rescue were on standby at their base at Inverdruie while the helicopter tried to reach the scene.

Later they picked up the climber’s companion from a track on Rothiemurchus Estate.

Willie Anderson, leader of the Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team, said that the young man was in shock. Mr Anderson said that the pair were “blameless” in the incident and he planned to write to the young survivor telling him that.

He also praised the RAF crew for their efforts in “hairy” weather.
