Torridon Mountain Rescue call-out to rescue two climbers on Beinn Eighe

Torridon Mountain Rescue Team (MRT) were called out on Saturday (March 2) after two climbers took a tumble on the descent of the Black Carls on Beinn Eighe.

The MRT said on their Facebook page: "Saturday evening saw the team called out to a well-equipped party requiring assistance after taking a tumble on the descent of the Black Carls on Beinn Eighe.

"With darkness closing in, a small team were uplifted by R151 from Inverness up on to the ridge to assist. A gap in the cloud allowed a swift rescue off the hill with the winch, avoiding the need for a long and protracted stretcher carry off the hill. We wish the casualty all the best with their recovery."

Connor Schwartz, who was rescued alongside his climbing partner by the team, said on social media: "Huge thanks to Torridon MRT who were quick to respond and get her off the hill, as well as kind and reassuring."
