Inquiry into climbers' deaths expected in August

A fatal accident inquiry (FAI) into the deaths of three climbers in Glen Coe is set to take place this summer.

Graham Cox, 60, Hazel Crombie, 64, and David Fowler, 39, died on Aonach Eagach in August 2023.

The ridge is popular with climbers and one of the narrowest in mainland Britain, stretching for six miles (9.7km) and climbing to a height of 3,608ft (1,100m).

Sheriff Neil Wilson told a hearing he expected the inquiry to be held on 18 and 19 August at Fort William Sheriff Court.
