See attached report from the Scotsman-
Mountain rescuers have told how a climber who dangled on a safety rope for around seven hours after plunging from a peak feared he was going to die.
The Glasgow man was climbing in the Cairngorms in the Scottish Highlands with two others when he fell 150ft backwards into a gully.
The experienced hiker was held in the air by a safety harness attached to his colleagues, who were unable to winch him back on to the mountain.
Looks like the red sock brigade are doing hard things now!
