Stranding/Difficult Terrain Snowdonia Serious incident

Pen yr Ole Wen (Ogwen Valley)

A mountain rescue team successfully assisted a family of four who were stranded on Pen yr Ole Wen due to difficult wintry conditions. The group was guided back to safety by five rescuers after they found a steep rock section too dangerous to pass in the fading light.

Outcome: All safe and recovered

Support the team who responded. They turn out unpaid, in all weather — every team is a volunteer-run charity.
