03.01.2022 3/4/2021 Mt Warning/Mt Wollumbin Rescue At 16:52 Tweed Rescue VRA was activated to reports of a bush walker stranded near the summit of the mountain in increasingly deteriorating conditions. The initial request for assistance came after the male bush walker became stuck 50 meters down from the summit. The climbing chains have recently been removed from the location. ... Rescue operators from Tweed & Brunswick Valley VRA, NSW Ambulance Paramedics, NSW Police, and NSW SES members met in the summit track car park to formulate a plan and ensure the team had appropriate equipment. Armed with extensive knowledge of the terrain, site specific rescue plans and prepared for changing conditions, Tweed Rescue crews commenced the climb with vertical rescue equipment and supplies. Crews found parts of the track so obstructed they were reduced to crawling through overgrowth, contending with slippery rocks, mud, leeches, and thorns. This rescue has highlighted that the speciality rickshaw frame (stretcher trolley) used for patient extrication is no longer appropriate due to the damaged track and debris. This would result in a mammoth effort and additional resources to perform a ground based rescue shall anyone require it. One rescue operator who has performed in excess of 100 rescues on the mountain described it as the worst condition I’ve seen the track in. The amount of debris and overgrowth is literally claiming the track back in sections. The multi agency rescue team returned to the car park at approximately 8.30pm with the uninjured climber able to walk out. Mt Warning/ Mt Wollumbin is currently closed due to significant safety issues on the Wollumbin Summit Track. The closure will be reviewed by National Parks in May 2021. Tweed District Rescue Squad remains prepared for any situation that may occur anytime. #vrarescue NSW Volunteer Rescue Association Inc.
