It’s been a busy few weeks for the team with callouts and training. The team has been dealing with mainly fallen climbers on Ben Nevis and Aonach Mor. Tragic events yesterday in Zero Gully. Great work by JS and DP and the RAF SAR. The team over the weekend hosted a Mountain Rescue Winter Stretcher Lowering Course, which saw MR members from around Scotland learning how to rig ropes in a variety of ways.

The team sends its condolences to the family and friends of yesterdays incident. And wishes all others speedy recovery.
