JOINT TRAINING WITH OUR NEIGHBOURSEaster Sunday was our April training and a joint training with @kintailmrt - an invaluable opportunity to get to know our neighbours, share working practices and learn from each other.We did a round robin of different skills stations covering rescue rigging, casualty care and equipment. Most importantly, it was a chance to build relationships - because when you're deployed to help another team, it usually means it's a significant rescue and communications are everything.Thanks to Kintail for making the effort to come to our base on a beautiful spring day!@scottishmountainrescue ...

Torridon Mountain Rescue Team is at Liathach.

Torridon Mountain Rescue Team
CALLOUT (Not an April Fools!)Shortly before 4pm on Monday the team was alerted to two people stuck at the east end of the iconic pinnacles on the main ridge of Liathach, some of the steepest and most technical terrain in our patch.With full winter conditions on the ridge, a hasty party was sent directly up the steep south side of Liathach to get to the stuck party as soon as possible. The remainder of the team ascended via the main path with additional equipment and continued over the ridge to regroup. Fortunately uninjured, but cold and without winter equipment, we were able to carefully rope the stuck party across the narrow ridge and down steep snow slopes to the main path below. The team were safely back at base by midnight.With Easter weekend coming up, a reminder that conditions at sea level are often very different to up high - and that full winter kit and knowledge of how to use it is essential for all the high mountains in our area just now. Knowing how to plan a safe winter journey and understand how a map translates to what is actually on the ground is also critical - apps like @alltrails (as in this case) are useful for getting route ideas but are NOT a replacement for a map, compass and ability to use them.Our team is made up entirely of volunteers who give up their time to help others in need in the mountains. We rely heavily on public donations to fund our work - please consider donating at the link in our bio.@scottishmountainrescue #torridon#mountainrescue#nc500 #ThinkWINTER ... See MoreSee Less

Torridon Mountain Rescue Team is at Achnashellach.

Torridon Mountain Rescue Team
CALLOUTA long night for the team! Yesterday afternoon the team was alerted to a walker who had slipped on a snow slope and taken a significant tumble through scree and boulders. Located near the summit of Bidean an Eòin Dearg in the remote hills north of Loch Monar, the casualty had a shoulder injury and was rapidly getting hypothermic in the freezing wind chill. A hasty party was deployed from Achnashellach by @maritimecoastguard helicopter as high as the cloud base allowed, before the cloud lowered and the helicopter left us to it. Additional team members arrived on scene and carried equipment all the way up the Sgurr a Chaorachain ridge where the casualty was being slowly moved along. A lengthy extraction down to Glenuaig Lodge followed before handover to a waiting road ambulance.The team was deployed at 1530hrs yesterday afternoon, and didn't leave the hill until 0530hrs this morning - a significant shift in gale force wind, rain and challenging terrain.Our team is made up of volunteers who give us their time to look after folk in need in the Scottish mountains. We are almost entirely reliant on public donations to operate. Please consider donating at the link in our bio.@scottishmountainrescue ... See MoreSee Less
