Fionn Otto’s nightmare might have ended very differently were it not for the team who rescued him as he lay trapped in a ravine for seven hours following a horrific fall.

Yet, rather than focus on the trauma of that night, the 19-year-old’s family are opting instead to relive its happy ending by paying tribute to the Dingle Coast and Cliff Rescue (DCCR) team who formed part of the mission to save Fionn in November of last year.
