About this Event
This session offers an introduction to both Scottish Mountain Rescue and Mountaineering Scotland, exploring how mountain rescue operations function across Scotland. Learn what the data tells us about the real risks of mountaineering, and gain valuable insights into the essential rules, regulations, and safety practices that help keep people safe in the mountains.
