⚠️ 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 ...

DOUBLE CALLOUT: NIGHT TIME ON BEINN EIGHEIn the early hours of Saturday morning, the team was alerted to a walker stuck in technical terrain around the classic Black Carls ridge scramble on Beinn Eighe.A small team was whisked onto the mountain by Maritime and Coastguard Agency helicopter Rescue 151, but with relatively low cloud, there was still a fair romp up onto the ridge with heavy packs and technical rescue gear. After a careful escort along the ridge with rope systems in place, the walker was successfully extracted and the team were back at base by 7am. A long night!As the team were travelling back to base, they were alerted to a runner attempting the daunted The Martin Moran Foundation Martin Moran Round. The runner had fallen on the descent from Maol Chean-dearg, and thought they had broken their hand. Well equipped and experienced, they walked themselves out over 3hrs almost to the roadside, where the team brought them to base for pain relief and immobilisation. An x-ray later revealed a nasty break to 2 bones in the hand.As ever a big thank you to the crew of Rescue 151 for their support on this rescue.Our team is made up of volunteers who are on call 24/7, 365 days a year to help those in need in the mountains. We are almost entirely funded by public donations. Please consider donating at the link in our bio.Scottish Mountain Rescue#mountainrescue #Torridon #technicalrescue #nc500 ... See MoreSee Less
