Yeah I was the guy who feel on Beinn an Lochain that day (thanks for the memento pic with the helicopter).
A pretty amazing story really, me and my walking buddies reckon I fell between 300-400ft. It wasn't on the summit, but on the second really icy bit on the way down. I just lost my footing, and over I went. I really thought I was about to die, definitely the most scary experience of my life. Somehow, I managed to get away with needing an operation in my left leg to correct my knee, a very painful back and head, and a weekend in the RAH in Paisley, but generally OK. Still can't quite believe it.
Walking can be dangerous and is done entirely at your own risk. Information is provided free of charge; it is each walker's responsibility to check it and navigate using a map and compass.
