Overview

• The walker collapsed near Llyn Bochlwyd on August 23 during the descent, and efforts by fellow hikers and Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue volunteers could not revive them.
• The deceased has not been publicly named, and the casualty was recovered from the mountain following the failed resuscitation attempts.
• OVMRO said the response was its 129th call-out of 2025 and its sixth visit to the Tryfan area this month.
• Later that evening, rescuers conducted a complex night operation on Tryfan’s Pinnacle Rib, lowering a team member about 300ft from the north ridge to reach two stuck climbers and raising them to safe ground by 6am.
• Five days earlier, a separate Tryfan rescue saw a lead climber with a suspected fractured ankle winched by a Coastguard helicopter to Ysbyty Gwynedd after a fall on Grooved Arete.
