READY FOR WINTERAre you ready for winter? Do you practice deploying your avalanche probe at the start of the season? Putting on your crampons? Knowing what each button does on your transceiver?Just before the first proper signs of winter arrived in Torridon, November training saw the team on a series of workshops familiarising with kit that has (for most!) been in the cupboard since last season. From casualty packaging to organised avalanche rescue, this training was all about refreshing some core winter skills, so we're ready to go when the snow and ice arrives.Fingers crossed for some proper winter conditions on our hills by December!@scottishmountainrescue#Torridon #mountainrescue#ThinkWINTER #nc500 ...

HELP! FALLEN CLIMBER!This was the call the team got last weekend, but fortunately just in a training scenario as part of our annual first aid training weekend with @basp_skipatrol It was a packed weekend of putting principles into practice with skills stations and scenarios covering all elements of first aid the team might need to use on real world rescues. It's always great to have instructors come from outside the team to build to add fresh perspectives and keep us up to date.All our team members are volunteers and give their weekends to train in the vital skills required to save lives in the Scottish mountains. Our team is almost entirely funded by public donations and training courses like this cost money! Please consider donating to enable us to continue this work at the link in our bio.@scottishmountainrescue#mountainrescue#FirstAid#mountainmedicine#wildernessmedicine #Torridon #nc500 ...
