“We deployed six hill parties to ensure we had enough team member to ensure the safety of the large group. Fortunately, once located, all the group were able to walk off the hill and back to our Land Rovers for the short journey to Kinder Base.
“The group were checked over by our casualty carers and provided with some hot drinks before making their way home.”
The KMRT is staffed by volunteers who give their time free of charge and is funded entirely by public donations – you can support their work here.
