Find on Crib Goch for Helen and Cluanie

This morning Llanberis MRT had a call out at 7:05 from two men in their 20's who were cragfast on a knife edge ridge and had the added problem of a split sole on one boot.

Helen responded to the callout and as the weather was looking bad decided to bring Cluanie to make the searching and finding quicker.

They headed across to the North Ridge from the Rock Step area of Crib Goch, with Richard also from SARDA Wales, and let Cluanie search from there. The dog headed off on the ridge and went first into  Cwm Glas and worked upwards. In strong winds, rain and very thick cloud the dog then worked up the ridge and came back and indicated her find to Helen. The boys had been able to give an approximate location but in the end they we higher than they thought and the dog saved a great deal of time in some pretty foul conditions.

All credit must be given to the guys rescued as they had survived the night, had bivi bags and a stove, and only called the team out once it was light and they thought the team would be up. One of them had a totally destroyed boot which the sole had come away from and had to be repaired. Helen and three other members of the Llanberis Team then helped the guys down safely off the mountain.

Well done to Helen, Rich & Cluanie, another great mountain find!
