For training this month, and in compliance with Covid-19 rules, we practised a range of winter techniques in and around Coire Lair.

Somehow it's been a week since the team returned home from winter training in Rjukan, Norway! Despite some relatively lean conditions, we got a huge amount of value from the trip - from climbing mileage on classic routes, developing technical winter skills and even some rest day (and evening!) skiing. However, and perhaps most importantly, trips like these facilitate building solid relationships and trust between team members that is so critical when working together on challenging rescues.#rjukan#iceclimbing#TorridonScottish Mountain Rescue ...

Heavy Water!Some of the team is out in Rjukan, Norway this week for winter training and ice climbing. It's been a successful start to the trip, covering avalanche scenarios and first aid, alongside some beautiful ice to practice placing ice screws, building ice anchors - and some world class climbing!Scottish Mountain Rescue#rjukan#iceclimbing#mountainrescue ...

From THIS ↖️ to ↗️ THIS (swipe right to see the transformation from casualty to carefully packaged patient!)If you heard shouting on Sunday afternoon in Torridon village, don't worry! That was just some excellent mock casualty acting in our final multi casualty scenario of what was a hugely beneficial First Aid weekend. From getting our primary surveys slick, to multiple scenarios across both medical and trauma cases, it was great to get together and practice some key life saving skills in working towards high quality casualty care. A big thanks to our Medical Officer, Ryan, for organising and running the weekend - and of course all the team who volunteer their weekends to come and maintain a high standard of training.If that wasn't enough, some of the team managed to run up Beinn Damph before sunrise on Sunday - capturing the south Torridon hills in all their glory.Scottish Mountain Rescue#Torridon ...
