Police in Scotland have issued a fresh appeal to help find mountain climber Harvey Christian almost one year since he disappeared.
The 42-year-old from Cambridgeshire was first reported missing by family when he failed to return from his trip to climb Ben Nevis, and his car was found parked in a layby in Glen Nevis.
It's been just under a year since he was last seen in the Fort William area of Scotland on January 27th 2023 and police hope a fresh appeal may aid them in their investigation.
Police conducted extensive searches in the surrounding areas, including on Ben Nevis.
Inspector Katy Duncan said: "Despite extensive searches being carried out, Harvey has now been missing for a year and it remains vital that we find him and provide much needed answers for his family and friends.
"His most likely route to Ben Nevis would have been from the Glen Nevis Visitor Centre and I would continue to ask anyone who thinks they may have seen Harvey out walking around this time last year to come forward.
"I would also urge anyone out walking or climbing in the area who may have noticed something that could suggest Harvey has been there, to please pass this information to police."
He's been described as 6'2", of heavy build with fair hair, and was most likely in waterproofs and walking boots.
Anyone who can help is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting reference number 3318 of Saturday January 28, 2023.
