They added that meeting local mountain rescue teams during the challenge was an opportunity to thank them 'in person for the vital role they play in keeping walkers and climbers safe on the mountains all year round'. The royals noted they had seen 'first-hand the dedication, professionalism and compassion that define their work'.
