Training
The team hold regular training sessions both in the huts as well as practical exercises on the hill. This training includes rope work, care of the casualty and first aid, helicopter safety, navigation and the use of radios. Members also attend specialist training courses in other parts of Scotland on subjects such as first aid, avalanche awareness and rigging for mountain rescue.
