I was on Tryfan at the time and was very impressed by the RAF attempts to get to the casualty site in very high winds and teh rescue teams efforst to get the man off the hill. The whole operation was conducted in cloud and high winds and looked very efficient. It gave me hope that if the worst should happen to me there would be someone to assist even in the worst of weather. It made me proud to be british as each and every one was a volunteer and the ones I spoke to were so understanding and not critical at all, somethingonly too common these days. Well done one and all and I hope the lad makes a full recovery.

why would they be critical??? I was one of the party and am appalled that you think anyone would have any reason to be critical! The fact that you were on the mountain does not give you an insight into the situation. I suggest you choose your words more carefully next time; something like " the party were all experienced with excellent equipment, this was a very unfortunate accident"

I think the comments were praising the mountain rescue guys and NOT being critical. I was also on Tryfan that day and saw people in trainers and t shirt up there! I think instead of the original commenter choosing his/her words more carefully I think you should read and understand what was written in the first place. My thoughts go out to your friend.

Jeez, I hope I never bump into No. 2 on a mountain, might say something like "nice day isn't it" and get a slap!!! Hope your mates feeling better tho
