Over a week during the Easter holidays, the team responded to six callouts in the Ogwen Valley area. Incidents involved walkers becoming lost or stuck on steep ground at various locations, requiring assistance with navigation, safety lines, and technical rope rescues.

Outcome: Walkers were located and safely assisted back down the mountain.
