Torridon Mountain Rescue Team
CALLOUTOn Tuesday afternoon we were alerted to a fallen climber in the Sword of Gideon area on the Bealach na Bà. With the potential severity of injuries, the coastguard helicopter was requested to deploy straight to the scene. Upon arrival, it was realised the helicopter couldn't safely winch the casualty due to the location on the climb. With the team assembling at base in Torridon, we prepared for a significant technical rescue with a stretcher lower.After multiple shuttles with people and equipment to the top of the ridge, a small team identified the top of the climb and built a rigging system to lower a stretcher, medical kit, a Remote Rescue Medical Technician and additional stretcher attendant.Descending carefully through loose, broken ground, we reached the casualty, where the experienced and well equipped climbing partners had done an excellent job of keeping the casualty safe until we arrived. Assessing and stabilising the multiple severe injuries, we then immobilised and packaged him into the stretcher for onward descent.After a total lower of 200m, we handed over the casualty for onward travel to hospital. A huge thank you to the crew of Coastguard helicopter R151 for their assistance on this rescue. We wish the casualty the best with their recovery.Our team is composed entirely of volunteers and relies on donations to carry out our work.

Torridon Mountain Rescue Team is at Beinn Dearg (Torridon).

Torridon Mountain Rescue Team
Last Friday evening saw the team host SARAA - Search and Rescue Aerial Association Scotland at our base for a joint demo with Dundonnell Mountain Rescue Team and @kintailmrt. Covering everything from hardware to pilot training and AI detection, it was exciting to see the potential these technologies have to assist what we do in Mountain Rescue.Over the weekend, SARAA pilots, supported by our team, deployed across the Beinn Dearg area to continue the search for the body of Ian Ross, who has been missing since September 2024. A huge amount of complex terrain was analysed in real time and in post processing AI software to try and identify any visual anomalies that would prompt a ground search. A huge thanks to SARAA members for coming up to Torridon, with their pilots coming from as far away as Galloway Mountain Rescue Team and Tweed Valley Mountain Rescue Team - we're very grateful for your support.All this work is funded entirely by donations, and carried out by volunteers.

Torridon Mountain Rescue Team is at Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve.

Torridon Mountain Rescue Team
It was great weather for a team ascent of Beinn Eighe on Sunday for July training... as soon as we got off the hill anyway! We made the most of some cloudy tops to combine hill familiarisation of a narrow, loose section on the main ridge, with a navigation refresher as we quested along though the mist. Our 'Lunchtime Lecture' this month was held on the summit, with Team Leader Tom reviewing the multiple challenging rescues we've had on the infamous 'Black Carls' scramble, and lessons learnt from these. It was great to welcome some new aspirant team members to join us on the hill - we're excited to have people with so much experience and knowledge keen to contribute to the team.All our team members are volunteers who give up their time to train and help those in need in the Scottish mountains. Please consider donating at the link in our bio to allow us to continue this vital work.Scottish Mountain Rescue#mountainrescue#Torridon ... See MoreSee Less
