Description

In descent. Came across two walkers after the bad step in descent, assisted in rescue with MR. They were ill equipped and not capable on the snow and ice on the ridge. They already had rang MR but did not have warm clothes, group shelter or head-torches so we waited 3 hours with them inside our group shelter and provided extra clothes for them to wear. MR thanked us and told us to meet them back at their base for a brew. Wind was 60mph+ now, dark and the clag had come in. Done via lower path as the top was too windy after MR arrived.
