Llanberis climber trapped with arm stuck in a crevice for three hours
- 3-26-2012
A climber was trapped for three-and-a-half hours hanging from a rope with his arm jammed in a crevice on a climb above Llanberis Pass in Snowdonia.
The 28-year-old man from Aberdyfi in Gwynedd was with a party of four when he slipped a few feet, and became wedged, on Sunday.
It happened on a climb 1,000ft (304m) up Dinas Cromlech.
The climber was given morphine to ease the pain before he was freed and flown to hospital in Bangor.
His friends had tried to dislodge his arm for an hour before phoning for help.
Members of Llanberis mountain rescue team went to the scene, a police helicopter brought cave rescuers with explosives from Flintshire, and fire fighters also climbed to the scene.
After being released the man was winched into an RAF Sea King helicopter and flown to Ysbyty Gwynedd.
