Alpine rescue

we have been on the Alpine rescue for a while and at 5 am on Sunday morning had our first call out

two guys got caught out by the dark and spent a very cold night on the cliff..It snowed and was gusty wind. They were very cold and wisely called for help when they realised they were too cold to be able to get out safely on their own. All well now, amazingly.

Aaron was one of the team that flew around in the dark looking for them with night vision, and later went over the cliff with warm drinks and Jackets. I did hauling and rope stuff.
