Climber Falls 1,000 Suffers Only Scratches and Bruises

A climber who fell 1,000ft (305m) down a mountain and survived was found by his rescuers standing up reading a map. Adam Potter, 36, lost his footing at the summit of Sgurr Choinnich Mor near Ben Nevis and plummeted down the near-vertical eastern slope. Lt Tim Barker, from the helicopter rescue crew, said: "It seemed impossible... he must have literally glanced off the outcrops as he fell."
