A climber has been saved from serious injury after plummeting 10m (33ft) while climbing Tryfan mountain in north Wales. They were part of a group of three who were climbing the "Gashed Crag" route in Eryri, also known as Snowdonia, the Ogwen Valley mountain rescue team said. The climber fell straight past their partner, who was managing the rope, but she managed to hold them - suffering "severe rope burns in the process". Tryfan is one of the highest mountains in Eryri National Park, standing at 917 metres (3,000ft) and is part of the Glyders range. The peak requires hiking and mountaineering skills, it's also difficult to navigate, especially in poor weather. In a Facebook post, mountain rescue said the climbing leader was uninjured after the fall and managed to climb back up the belay ledge. The maritime coastguard rescue team were called to lift the team members onto a hill before the climbers were raised to the summit with a technical rope rescue system. "Once checked over, the casualty was fitted with a confidence rope and then made an impressive 'hands free' descent of Tryfan," the post added. Copyright 2026 BBC. All rights reserved.
