The busiest team in the UK with nearly 200 incidents a year. The majority of the teams work is on Snowdon itself which has been described as the busiest mountain in the world. It doesn’t matter what time of year it is, there is always someone attempting to climb Snowdon including Christmas day. Dealing mostly with traditional mountain rescue, it is generally the walking public who call for their assistance.

Incident 122 @ 12:27 on the 23/07/17
The team received a request from North Wales police to investigate a report of a female in the Scott Trail Marathon event that had fallen and possibly sustained a serious head injury. Reported just below Half way cafe some 500m down the hill on the Llanberis path. The team deployed to the location from our base in Nant Peris and from off the hill to investigate and assist if needed. Due to the lack of information and the possible seriousness of the incident a rescue helicopter was put on stand by. She was found by the team just above the half way bridge on the Llanberis path and treated for her injuries by one of the team's doctors. She was then evacuated to a team landrover at Hafodty and returned to the road head to wait for an ambulance.
9 team members, 3 hours 10 minutes, 2 team Land Rover's.

Incident 120 @ 17:27 on the 22/07/17
Just before half past five today the team received a call form North Wales Police about two males crag fast on Grib Coch. Team members were deployed from our base in Nant Peris to Llyn Llydaw by Land Rover, and then deployed on foot to the cliff on the south side of the Grib Coch ridge. Due to the difficult location of the two men, a coastguard rescue helicopter was requested. As our usual rescue helicopter was out on a other rescue, one was sent up from St Athens in South Wales. The team managed to reach the two and roped them off the cliff, and up to the top of the ridge, just as the Rescue helicopter arrived. The two men were winched on board the helicopter and dropped off at our LZ at Nant Peris, leaving the team members on the mountain to enjoy the sunset and walk off.
