Torridon Mountain Rescue Team
CALLOUTOn Wednesday evening the team was alerted to a cragfast walker on the complex terrain at the West end of Liathach. With the light fading and struggling to find the way down, the otherwise well equipped walker wisely decided to call for help.A hasty party of 6 team members was deployed with another 5 preparing further kit and following on in case a more complex technical rescue was required. Fortunately uninjured, the casualty was able to walk off assisted by the hasty party and delivered back to their camp spot in the village. The team was all back at base by 2am, guided down by a beautiful starry night and full moon.Our team is made up entirely of volunteers and is reliant on public donations to carry out our life saving work.

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
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
