Meanwhile, details of an eight-hour operation in Glencoe on Saturday have emerged after a climber fell to his death from Buachaille Etive Mor.
Police were called at about 11.15 am, with the 40-year-old climber pronounced dead at the scene.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Police received a report that a man had fallen on Stob Dearg, Buachaille Etive Mor, around 11.15am on Saturday April 8.
“There are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances and a report will be sent to the procurator fiscal.”
Rescuers carried the climber’s body off the mountain while three others climbed up to reach his companion, who was stuck on a ledge about 2,000 feet up.
They managed to rope him to safety with the climber then airlifted off the mountain by a crew from Inverness.
Meanwhile, a search continues for American walker Patrick Monroe, who has not been seen since scaling Ben Lui in the Loch Lomond area last Thursday afternoon.
