Snowdonia: Mountain hiker injured after Tryfan North Ridge fall

A walker was rescued after being hurt while falling on an area known as waterfall gully on Tryfan

A hiker was airlifted to hospital after being left with serious injuries when he fell on a Snowdonia mountain.

Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Organisation and a Coastguard helicopter rescue team went to the man's aid after he fell from a gully on Tryfan's North Ridge on Friday.

He was put in a stretcher and lowered before being winched into the helicopter.

He was flown to Bangor's Ysbyty Gwynedd for treatment.

On Friday the mountain rescue team also helped a walker to safety as she injured her ankle after slipping on wet rock at Llyn Cowlyd.

And volunteers carried a third casualty to an awaiting ambulance after he hurt his leg while in a quarry in Deganwy, Conwy county.

"Good Friday was a busy start to the Bank Holiday," said the organisation.
