A full scale search has been resumed today (Tues 1 Feb) for missing man Haider Ali Manir who failed to return from a walk up Ben Nevis on Sunday.
The 20 year-old man was reported overdue at around 6pm on Sunday 30 January. A relative reported concerns when he failed to return.
Police are co-ordinating the search which includes members of Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team, RAF MRT, RAF Valley MRT (a Welsh mountain rescue team who stayed in the area to lend assistance following a weekend training exercise), SARDA dogs and Rescue One Seven Seven from Gannet.
Searches were called off last night due to darkness and worsening weather conditions. Although conditions have improved this morning further snow is forecast for the higher ground later today.
Police have real concerns for his safety and welfare, particularly as he is not thought to be equipped for the conditions. He was last seen wearing jeans and a navy jacket and black hat.
