cragfast walkers Snowdonia
Tryfan
Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue responded to two separate incidents on Tryfan on 21 August 2017. Three brothers became cragfast on the West Face after abandoning the North Ridge in poor visibility, and were assisted down using rope hand lines. Later the same evening, a group of five became cragfast on the North Ridge and were walked off the mountain; both groups were provided with refreshments at base before departing.
Outcome: both groups safely assisted from the mountain and provided with refreshments
