SEMRA advised the walkers to stay where they were and to find shelter, as they were told that the walkers were in a cold and wet state.
After coming on site at 6.30pm, SEMRA found and assessed the walkers, provided food, and blizzard smocks, and escorted them down the mountain to safety.
Everyone was off the hill by 8.30pm.
