Applecross, Wester Ross

Saturday, 20 July 2024

A caver became stuck in a tight crack in a cave near Applecross in Wester Ross and was unable to move. Members of the Scottish Cave Rescue Organisation and local cavers worked together for five hours to carefully manipulate him out of the squeeze, with Torridon Mountain Rescue Team providing surface support. He was brought to the surface unharmed but cold and tired.

Outcome: casualty rescued unharmed
