Surprised and unprepared for the winter conditions one of the party was unable to pass the crux point and became cragfast with one other as two of the party continued on to the summit. Team training at base meant that a quick response was possible and the Coastguard helicopter was also tasked due to the lateness of the day. Low cloud meant that R936 was unable to reach the casualties so dropped 6 team members on the summit of Carnedd Dafydd. A technical rope rescue was set up to recover the casualties up to the summit and after a two hour operation the hill party and casualties were all lifted down by helicopter.
14 Gribin Ridge 17/02/2022 Duration: 08:02 16 members attended	A couple were descending from the Glyderau via the Gribin Ridge but lost the path and drifted onto the westward slopes. One of the party made it down into the cwm but the other walker and dog became cragfast and called NWP for assistance. The Coastguard helicopter was tasked and located the casualty by winch but could not safely lift the dog. The walker refused to leave the dog so the aircraft returned to Oggie base and lifted an initial hill party of 4 to set up a technical rope rescue. Another team of 4 were deployed to meet with the other walker who was happy to descend to Ogwen on their own. The team continued up to assist with the technical multi-pitch lower of the walker and dog down to easier ground in the cwm before walking out in the small hours of the morning.
13 Llyn Cowlyd 13/02/2022 Duration: 02:09 3 members attended	Two walkers had set out on Saturday from the Llyn Eigiau carpark, during the course of the day one of the party fell into a stream. On the return to their vehicle they became disoriented and so pitched a tent and camped for the night but with no dry clothes were unable to warm. In the morning they were concerned about leaving their shelter to continue down and so called NWP. Two local team members were deployed in a 4x4 to try and meet up with the walkers whilst a Team Leader provided further advice over the phone. The walkers were instructed to pack their tent and rendezvous with the hill party once they were close and were then transported back to their vehicle at Trasbwll.
12 Aber Falls 06/02/2022 Duration: 01:40 9 members attended	A father and son had set out from Aber to walk up and down Llwtymor. They became disorientated when using mobile phone mapping and the father had significant concerns about being able to get back to their car so called for assistance. A Phonefind message was used to locate the walkers and two team members reported that they were close to the Aber Falls area, so were asked to ascend the path above the falls to find and then escort the pair back to the car park. The team was put on standby in case further assistance was required and the repeater radio channel was monitored. The father and son were found close to the steep step and then guided back down to the main Aber track.
11 Glyder Fach, Western Gulley 30/01/2022 Duration: 10:18 24 members attended	The team were called out at midday to reports of a climber falling 60 metres on Glyder Fach possibly caused by a rockfall. The Coastguard helicopter initially investigated but couldn't access the casualty site and lifted 2 Hill parties up to Bochlwyd instead. Once on scene, it became apparent that the climber had not survived the fall. The casualty's partner had been assisted by 2 other climbers who had witnessed the fall and attempted first aid, they were lowered from the site and taken to base. Llanberis MRT were requested to assist and a large hill party deployed from Peris base. The forecasted high wind and rain prevented any further help from the Coastguard so, once the casualty was lowered from Western Gully, Llanberis took over the stretcher extraction with Ogwen setting up further lowers at Bochlwyd outflow. All team members were finally off the hill by 2200hrs. We would like to thank both assisting climbers for all their help to the casualties' climbing partner. A huge thank you to Llanberis team for their help again and the thoughts of both teams are with the casualty's family and friends.
