Torridon Mountain Rescue Team
A BUSY WEEKEND IN THE CAIRNGORMS...This weekend saw our team gathered at @badaguish_ for a weekend away training in the Cairngorms - it certainly kept us on our toes with wild winter conditions and some real rescues along the way.With several team members preparing for their Winter Mountain Leader assessments soon, we headed into the rolling Feshie hills on Saturday to focus on navigating in whiteout conditions - the featureless hills and constantly changing snow conditions made for excellent learning.Sunday was where it really got busy. We were training under the expert instruction of @cairngormadventureguides in the use of snow anchors and technical rigging near 'Twin Ribs' when simultaneous incidents required our team to work alongside @cairngormmrt to assess, stabilise and evacuate multiple casualties in some challenging conditions.It was a definite reminder of how seriously the conditions need to be taken in the mountains just now - with the strong winds and heavy snow up high, any steep ground is either bullet hard snow that is almost impossible to stop on once you're sliding, or a potential avalanche hazard. Ensure you understand the avalanche forecast before heading out, and are well equipped for if things go wrong - it's unforgiving out there just now!@scottishmountainrescue @cairngormmountain @cairngormskipatrol #mountainrescue #cairngormsnationalpark #ThinkWINTER ...

WHEN WINTER ARRIVED!January team training coincided with some of the most snow seen down to the village for several years. Once we had dug out the car park and the front door of the base, we headed through beautiful snowy pinewoods to the lower slopes of Beinn Damh to practice a range of winter skills. We explored avalanche hazard and avoidance, transceiver use and building/testing snow anchors. Can you count how many team members we managed to support with a large snow bollard on questionable snow?!Our patch is currently in full winter condition, with the associated potential hazards that come with that. Make sure you have the winter kit required for where you're going, know how to use it, and have checked the @scottishavalancheservice forecast as a minimum before heading out.Get out there and enjoy these stunning landscapes in their winter coat, but do so safely.@scottishmountainrescue #BeAvalancheAware#torridon #mountainrescue #winterrigging #nc500 ...
