Winter's grip remains on Scottish mountains! Another challenging rescue on Stuc a Chroin last night. Two climbers brought to safety. Conditions are still tough – are YOU prepared? #MountainSafety #WinterPreparedness #Scotland #MountainRescue

Thankfully, the quick thinking of two young walkers who happened to come upon the casualty were able to provide hot drinks and guide the rescue team into their location with their headtorches, preventing a bad situation becoming worse. 🙏 #Rescue #Teamwork #Walkers #Headtorches.

The team deployed a hasty party as conditions deteriorated, meaning full winter rescue protocol was actioned. The casualty was located and assessed by the team's remote medical technicians and extracted by foot to awaiting off-road support, then to base and into the hands of 🚑.

Agencies are reporting heavy snow followed by rain fall will create snow instability & #Avalanche risk. Added to that the wild weather reported @the_MWIS & other agencies regarding #stormbert mean the hills will be wintery and wild today. ❄️🌨️

Some good advice on how to enjoy a winter day in the Scottish hills. Remember, if you do need assistance, then call "999" and ask for "POLICE" then "MOUNTAIN RESCUE". This ensures you will get assistance as quickly as possible. #killinmrt
