A man who fell into a gully while climbing sea cliffs on the Isle of Lewis was rushed to hospital after a ‘challenging’ rescue.
The alarm was raised at around 8.40pm on Friday after reports of a climber being injured and trapped in a gully near Bragar.
Several HM Coastguard rescue crews raced to the scene alongside a helicopter which lowered a paramedic to the stricken man. Due to their position, a technical rope rescue was launched which was made harder due to fading light conditions.
Hebrides Mountain Rescue Team were tasked to attend while Stornoway lifeboat was also asked for help. The injured man was eventually extracted from the gully shortly before midnight and taken to the Western Isles Hospital for treatment.
