Hill familiarisation around the north side of Liathach was today’s training. One part of the team ascended a gully from Coireag Dubh Mor whilst the other part of the team ascended the north ridge of Spidean a’Choire Leith.

DOUBLE CALLOUT: NIGHT TIME ON BEINN EIGHEIn the early hours of Saturday morning, the team was alerted to a walker stuck in technical terrain around the classic Black Carls ridge scramble on Beinn Eighe.A small team was whisked onto the mountain by Maritime and Coastguard Agency helicopter Rescue 151, but with relatively low cloud, there was still a fair romp up onto the ridge with heavy packs and technical rescue gear. After a careful escort along the ridge with rope systems in place, the walker was successfully extracted and the team were back at base by 7am. A long night!As the team were travelling back to base, they were alerted to a runner attempting the daunted The Martin Moran Foundation Martin Moran Round. The runner had fallen on the descent from Maol Chean-dearg, and thought they had broken their hand. Well equipped and experienced, they walked themselves out over 3hrs almost to the roadside, where the team brought them to base for pain relief and immobilisation. An x-ray later revealed a nasty break to 2 bones in the hand.As ever a big thank you to the crew of Rescue 151 for their support on this rescue.Our team is made up of volunteers who are on call 24/7, 365 days a year to help those in need in the mountains. We are almost entirely funded by public donations. Please consider donating at the link in our bio.Scottish Mountain Rescue#mountainrescue #Torridon #technicalrescue #nc500 ... See MoreSee Less

CALLOUT WHILE TRAININGIt was a normal August monthly training session in Shieldaig this Sunday, where we were refreshing our technical rope rescue skills at the local crag.That was until early afternoon, when the call came in for a crashed paraglider in the hills above Strathcarron. With limited information, but the potential for serious injuries, we quickly derigged and hit the road. Our team arrived and were lifted onto the hill by Coastguard helicopter R151, where they worked alongside the local ambulance paramedics and Winch Paramedic to provide initial care to the casualty. Because of the severity of the injuries, the air ambulance was requested, and Helimed 2 was quickly on scene with a Critical Care team.After packaging and making the casualty as comfortable as possible, the team aided with transferring between helicopters for onward travel to hospital in Helimed 5. We wish the casualty all the best with their recovery.Thank you to all the agencies involved in this response, including @maritimecoastguard @scotambserviceOur team is made up entirely of volunteers who are on call 24/7, 355 days a year. We rely on public donations to enable our work. Please consider donating at the link in our bio.@scottishmountainrescue#mountainrescue #prehospital #CriticalCare ... See MoreSee Less
