Climbing 'pioneer' Andy Nisbet dies in Ben Hope mountain accident
[BBC] A man who helped establish 1,000 winter climbing routes was one of the two climbers who died in an accident on Scotland's most northerly Munro.

Aberdeen-born Andy Nisbet, along with partner Steve Perry, from Lancaster, got into difficulty on Ben Hope.

Their bodies were recovered from the mountain in Sutherland on Wednesday.

The climbing community has paid tributes to the two men, with Mr Nisbet being lauded for his "boundless enthusiasm" and "pioneering attitude".

It is believed that the men, who were regular climbing partners, had finished their ascent and fell while on the upper slopes of the 927m (3,041ft) mountain.
