Snowdon
A 19-year-old man climbed Snowdon wearing only Superman underwear as a charity fundraiser on 9 September 2017. He developed hypothermia at the summit and was evaluated by a paramedic at the base but did not require hospital treatment. Mountain rescue issued a plea for visitors to wear appropriate clothing and prepare properly for the mountain.
Outcome: checked by paramedic, did not require hospital treatment
