SHOW US A MORE PHOTOGENIC TRAINING SPOTIs there a more beautiful spot to train for a technical stretcher lower? We're not sure, but let us know if you think you know a better place!Sunday's training saw the team head to the crags above @thetorridon hotel to practice rigging anchors, play stretcher attendant, and bring together multiple techniques into a full rescue scenario. This has been brought sharply into focus after a recent call outs, including on the Bealach na Bà, which highlighted the importance of being able to effect a rescue on terrain like this safely and efficiently.Our team is made up entirely of volunteers who are on call 365 days a year to help those in need in the mountains. We rely almost entirely on public donations to operate. Please consider donating at the link in our bio.@scottishmountainrescue #Torridon #nc500 ... See MoreSee Less

⚠️ TWO CALLOUTS… AT ONCE! ⚠️On Saturday evening, worsening weather and falling darkness led to a busy night for the team:🔹 Near the summit of Beinn Liath Mòr, a walker became lost and hypothermic.🔹 At the same time, walkers descending Beinn Eighe also called for help, losing the path on their descent.Three teams deployed from Achnashellach, Coulin, and base (ready for helicopter uplift). As our members climbed steep slopes in fading light and deteriorating weather, Coastguard rescue helicopter 151 managed to punch through the cloud, winching the casualty from Beinn Liath Mòr for onward transport to Raigmore Hospital to be rewarmed.Meanwhile, our team successfully located the Beinn Eighe party and guided them safely down to their car. The photo of team the smiling is when we knew everyone was safe and we could go and dry off!🪚 Sunday brought no rest — instead, our base rang with saws and hammers as volunteers turned their hands to joinery and construction to keep our facilities running strong.👏 And to round it off: congratulations to Simon, who had his Remote Rescue Medical Technician certificate hand-delivered while leading the base works — well-earned recognition for his dedication.Our team is made up entirely of volunteers, on call 24/7, 365 days a year. We rely on donations to continue this lifesaving work. 💙👉 To donate, please visit the link in our bio.Scottish Mountain Rescue#mountainrescue #torridonmrt #VolunteersInAction #beinneighe #nc500 #Torridon #technicalrescue ...
