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.
So far this year 3% of our rescues related to inadequate footwear and 6% related to inadequate equipment.
Human factors such as inexperience and human error account for 79% of our incidents.
Individual responsibility is important but education and information is key. https://t.co/iuMgIOwQtN
