00:01This is Errori, a breathtaking part of North Wales

00:05that draws visitors in their millions.

00:09But this wild landscape can also hold dangers.

00:15And when things go wrong,

00:17the busiest network of rescue agencies in the country

00:21must come together.

00:26Saving lives.

00:28I like it down there.

00:30In a landscape like no other.

00:34That's a proper job there.

00:47There's a lot that the area has to offer

00:50from a nature perspective, from a geology perspective,

00:54from learning to navigate and rock climb.

00:58I love this bit here. It's like a ladder.

01:04But things can go from good to bad real quick.

01:11It's then that the skills of Errori's rescue teams

01:14are pushed right to the edge.

01:16If you have an accident and you've come off a known path or a common area,

01:22we've got an intimate knowledge of the mountains,

01:26which allows us to get in and out, sometimes easier than others.

01:30Trevan, in the Ogwen Valley.

01:39It's known as a little mountain that bites back.

01:42It's amazing, sir.

01:43You're helping out.

01:44Just come across a chap that seems to have fallen and broken his leg.

01:46He looks like he's hit his head.

01:47Like he's really covered in blood.

01:48It's pretty bad.

01:49Don't say, where are you?

01:50On the west face of Trevan.

01:52I'm at the base of Notch Arete.

01:55A climber called Ray has fallen 30 feet from Trevan's north ridge,

02:12a notorious climbing route known as Notch Arete.

02:16Ogwen Valley mountain rescue team is put on standby.

02:33The casualty was solo climbing without ropes.

02:38He was found by another chap

02:41who just happened to be in the same location at the same time.

02:45which is just unbelievably lucky.

02:49But the casualty is in a dangerous position,

02:52surrounded by sheer drops.

02:55And with a serious head injury like this,

02:58every second counts.

03:00So the Coast Guard rescue helicopter is also called in.

03:10The west face of Trevan is challenging.

03:13There is loose rock.

03:15There are steep drops.

03:17Limited or no phone signal.

03:19Well, the casualty was, if you had slipped again,

03:23you would have gone quite a long way down the side of the mountain.

03:27A winch paramedic is lowered onto the ridge,

03:37where the passer-by who raised the alarm is waiting with rain.

03:41He had a head injury, which looked quite severe.

03:57He also had an injury to his lower leg,

04:00which, again, we assessed as being severe.

04:04His blood pressure dropped.

04:09So I was concerned that he had internal bleeding.

04:12Ray needs urgent medical care.

04:16But the ledge he's on is so narrow,

04:18the paramedic can't get him into a stretcher on his own.

04:24He needs Mountain Rescue's help.

04:26And taking the volunteers up by helicopter will save vital time.

04:31Is he dumping us on the North Ridge?

04:35Yeah.

04:37It's not uncommon to be winched down.

04:51If they can't land, then they'll just lower us down.

04:58Anything like that is essential

05:00for getting the casualty to the hospital quicker.

05:04We got lowered down onto what can only be described

05:09as the most precarious rock,

05:12about the size of a dining table to land on.

05:16It was really windy from the propellers.

05:21I'm going down.

05:23But listen.

05:24Very loose.

05:29Hello, mate. You all right?

05:31It's Ray.

05:32Hey, Ray. How you doing?

05:33Oh, listen. Well, all right?

05:34Don't be bad for it.

05:35Just more medicine, antibiotics to stop in

05:38and the cuts you've got and maybe bony.

05:40I think I put it on the floor.

05:41Any worse?

05:44You all right, Ray?

05:45No.

05:46Did you just take a little slip

05:48or a handle came off or lose your footing

05:50or something?

05:51What, here?

05:52Yeah.

05:53Well, I'm not sure what happened.

05:58I've got it, buddy, so you might go now.

06:00The ledge is just a few feet wide

06:03with a sheer drop on one side.

06:06There's no margin for error.

06:08There's six of us in a small area.

06:13I can't move anywhere.

06:15Hang on.

06:18What do you want?

06:19Just get it straight over the top of the patient?

06:20Yep.

06:23And due to the nature of the casualties injuries,

06:25we had to be careful about moving him.

06:27We need to be really careful of his headlock

06:29and we need to be really careful of his lower left leg,

06:32all right?

06:33Yeah.

06:34This might hurt a little bit, mate, all right?

06:36But once you're in,

06:37what we're hoping is you're back to where you were

06:39on the painstall, all right?

06:40Oh, come on.

06:41OK.

06:42Hold on.

06:43Hold on.

06:44Hold on.

06:45Go.

06:46Hold on down.

06:47Down.

06:48That's my head.

06:49You all right, Ray?

06:50Keep talking.

06:51It was a real challenge to get the stretcher underneath him

06:54without him sliding off down the mountain again.

06:57He's slipping quite a bit down.

06:58OK.

06:59Just so you know.

07:00Sliding up a bit again if you can.

07:01And to ensure his safety and his injuries

07:04weren't prodded and poked on the way,

07:06which probably would have hurt quite a lot.

07:08OK.

07:09Ready.

07:10Race lifts.

07:11Fingers down.

07:12Are you here?

07:13Yeah.

07:14OK, next.

07:15Sweet.

07:16Nice, brilliant.

07:17That's what I'm all right.

07:18936.

07:19Mobile.

07:20936.

07:21With Ray secured,

07:25the helicopter moves in to winch him out.

07:28I'll leave my bag there.

07:30It's going to get really windy.

07:32And the rescuers hold on tight

07:35so the powerful downdraft doesn't blow them off the mountainside.

07:392 hours since the call-out, Ray is on track with her,

07:42but it's going to tell no more.

07:43You didn't need to stop just the leap.

07:44You didn't want to walk the helmet then.

07:45I'm leaving the mordraft,

07:46and I'll have to get a good idea.

07:47I'll have to get up and get up and rattle on the ride.

07:48I'll be having trouble.

07:49They'll be having trouble.

07:50They've got me in my bag at the table.

07:51They're not needed them,

07:52but they're not needed.

07:53It's going to be $1,000 or $2,000.

07:54Two hours since the call-out, Ray is on his way to hospital.

08:16Leaving Mountain Rescue to head back down on foot.

08:20People don't plan to have accidents, but things happen.

08:28I joined the Mountain Rescue team after myself and a friend went climbing in the Lake District

08:35and we ended up falling off the cliff.

08:40And I had a serious head injury, he broke lots of bones.

08:44I was unconscious and so we had to call out the Mountain Rescue team.

08:48Mountain Rescue saved my life and I felt like that was a debt I needed to repay.

08:57Four months later.

09:02Ray is back in a hurry.

09:04Hello. Are you Ray?

09:12I am.

09:12Gosh.

09:13Hello Chris.

09:14You've changed a lot since I've seen you last.

09:16I've been coming to the Mountain for a very long time.

09:20I think the first rock climb I did was here in the Ogwin Valley.

09:25However, just because you're experienced doesn't mean to say you can't come to grief in the mountains.

09:32What was your final tally of injuries?

09:34Open fracture to tibia and fibula.

09:37Yeah.

09:37The lower back and neck.

09:41And a couple of broken teeth.

09:43I'm massively appreciative.

09:45It would have been quite easy to have died that day.

09:50Well, you are a very, very lucky man.

09:52I know.

09:53Yeah, absolutely.

09:54I'm so grateful that they got to me as quickly as they did.

09:59But not everyone who visits Errori is headed for the mountains.

10:13We cover the beach, headland, cliff and as a rule of thumb, we cover to the first major road or the fence lining away from a coastal path.

10:22Helping keep people safe along this spectacular coastline is the job of the Coast Guard.

10:33The total amount of distance we cover is about 1,400 kilometres within North Wales.

10:38The team from Criciath specialise in cliff rescues.

10:43Ideal for the granite headland of Llanbedrog.

10:52It's quite a good, quite sheer drop in places onto massive rocks.

11:02You've got overhangs, you've got cracks, you've got inverts, outwards.

11:07Each one is different.

11:09It's a good thing I enjoy.

11:11And just as each cliff face is different, so too is every casualty.

11:17Buzz is a very energetic puppy.

11:26Justine's been visiting the Llan Peninsula since she was a child.

11:29And the only family member who loves it more than her is 11-month-old spaniel, Buzz.

11:36Do you see him like our baby?

11:38He is jumping at you if you're not taking him out for a walk.

11:43You only need to say the word beach and his little head picks up.

11:47It was a gorgeous Sunday morning.

11:51Weather was perfect.

11:52I decided to go for a lovely headland walk.

11:55Buzz just runs off.

11:56You can hear him barking away.

12:00As we went down the path and it bears around the corner, it suddenly went very quiet.

12:07And there were two people walking towards us, so we just stopped them and just said,

12:11Have you seen a black dog coming past you?

12:14And they just said, no.

12:15And as soon as they said no, there was nowhere else for him to have gone.

12:18And that sickening fear just hit us.

12:22It's gone over the edge.

12:23Hi, the dog's gone over the cliff.

12:33The dog has gone over the cliff, okay.

12:37I keep shouting him on the east.

12:39What's his name?

12:40Buzz, B-U-Z-Z, husband, Buzz Lightyear.

12:43Make sure you don't get too close to the edge yourself, will you?

12:46Okay, we're going to get some help for you, so try not to worry.

12:49Buzz has run off the coastal path and over the edge of the cliff at Trwyn Llanbedrog.

13:02Coast Guard volunteer teams from Cricket and Ybersoch get the call.

13:13We've got a first aid bag in this.

13:15We've got a first aid bag in this.

13:19Yeah.

13:19Do you know what they're half, Osh?

13:21Yeah.

13:22Yeah.

13:26There's a bit of urgency to get there because the general public tend to try and help

13:30or try and get down themselves.

13:32You don't want it to escalate where a member of public is hurt.

13:37There you go.

13:38It's eating the way of the rustling on the cove here.

13:41Yeah, just there, see?

13:42Yeah.

13:42Okay, yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

13:49We were shouting his name over and over again and it was just silence and we just thought, he can't be alive, he's got to be dead.

13:57You can't survive a fall like that.

14:00It was a long fall.

14:02It was about 100 foot maybe.

14:03We didn't know the condition of the dog, so you've got to treat it as the worst case scenario.

14:10It's now been more than an hour since Buzz fell.

14:14Hey, okay?

14:16There's a team coming out.

14:18Is he underneath?

14:19Yeah.

14:20What are you doing for?

14:21Charlie John to Nick there.

14:23Okay.

14:23An experienced climber on the beach below has managed to get up to the dog.

14:29You want to step a little bit back for now?

14:32He's alive, but they can't tell how badly he's injured or get him off the cliff.

14:38You're on a yo-yo of emotions.

14:40Anyone who comes over to you and says, are you okay, how are you doing?

14:43Burst into tears.

14:48Yeah.

14:50Ashley and the team set up a rope system.

14:52So they can safely get down the overgrown cliff.

14:57One operator puts a harness on, peeks over, see what the terrain's like.

15:02Yeah, look up.

15:03Yeah.

15:04Right, let's go main.

15:07A slack, have a safety place.

15:10Yeah.

15:11Yeah, I'm on my way down now.

15:14Okay.

15:16Open up this.

15:18Yeah.

15:18All good.

15:19Yeah.

15:22Okay.

15:31Is that okay?

15:33We're going to be overhang arras when you do go see a bit, okay?

15:35Yeah.

15:35Stop.

15:44Stop.

15:45Stop.

15:46Stop.

15:46On safety.

15:50Having short legs.

15:53Got chucked about quite a bit, so it was quite hard.

15:55We just put, um, safety out with me, please.

16:00You're fighting against two ropes.

16:02You've got the main line, you've got safety line.

16:04So there's massive strain on the ropes.

16:06Lock off, safety.

16:07Locked off, safety.

16:09Just hard work.

16:11There's trees and foliage and bracken.

16:13You have to work through that.

16:15It's a massive fight all the way down.

16:28Hey, you okay?

16:31Cliff top, um, cliff jacket.

16:33I'm with the dog now.

16:35Over.

16:35They've made it to Buzz.

16:42Now, they just have to get him down.

16:45Checking he's going to get into this bag for me?

16:48Uh, I think you'll let me pick your boat.

16:50Yeah, cool.

16:55Isn't that jumper?

16:56It's your mum's jumper there, mate.

16:58We have a big red bag.

17:03Some dogs get scared of that.

17:05It's okay.

17:06It's okay.

17:08That's it.

17:09There we go.

17:11It's okay.

17:17Cliff top, cliff tech.

17:20Yeah, go ahead.

17:21For your information and the owner's information,

17:24the dog's in the bag safe.

17:26Yeah, that's accurate.

17:28A bit faster on me.

17:30Carrying Buzz,

17:32Ashley carefully makes his way down to the beach.

17:37But it was just horrendous boulders and black thorn.

17:43We're nearly there, lad.

17:56Hey, Buzz.

17:57Phew.

17:58We got some of my flat for him.

18:01Yeah.

18:02Hi, just to let you know,

18:03the dog is on the ground,

18:05uh, off the cliff now.

18:07Go ahead, go ahead, run.

18:09Go ahead, darling.

18:10You got to.

18:10Sit down.

18:11Sit down.

18:12Sit down.

18:12Sit down, okay?

18:13Sit down.

18:14Okay?

18:15Okay?

18:19I'm still drunk.

18:22Good boy.

18:23It's not just a dog to the owner.

18:38It's not just a dog to the owner.

18:42It's not just a dog to the owner.

18:44We're not there to judge whether it's a dog, whether it's a person.

18:57Good boy.

18:58It's a miracle.

19:01A buzzy miracle, we call it.

19:03As well as the natural wonders of Aruri, some elements of this dramatic landscape were created

19:19by humans, including a network of mines and quarries that are now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

19:27These holes have been dug in the ground over decades.

19:30These create incredibly dramatic scenes.

19:34Today, social media is pulling in newcomers keen to explore these secret spots.

19:40They're not open to the public as such, but as soon as you put something on social media,

19:44everybody's going to go there.

19:45They're the first of the ladders that are in and on are going up there, look.

19:50It's been mildly terrifying.

19:52But they haven't come for a history lesson.

19:55They're here for adventure.

19:57Like trainee nurse, Charlie.

19:59I'm very outgoing, I would say.

20:02I'm adventurous.

20:03And her boyfriend, Nathaniel.

20:05We use social media to see all these amazing places, and then we figure out how we're going to get to it.

20:10We wake up and say, oh, we're going here.

20:12It's just spontaneous all the time.

20:15It's October.

20:20Charlie, Nathaniel and two of their friends are planning their next adventure.

20:26On the night before, Nathaniel said that they had something planned for us.

20:30They wouldn't show us the TikTok.

20:33So it was a complete surprise.

20:34The quarries at Denorwick are made up of numerous ridges and tunnels.

20:42And you go from that extreme, high, steep walls, dramatic edges, to slate debris that hasn't been compacted or in any way.

20:50It's just lying there.

20:51It's hazardous.

20:53It's decaying.

20:55There are rockfalls.

20:57So it is a changing environment.

20:59So when we got there, there was like a lagoon, blue, crystal clear water.

21:09We saw loads of caves, and then we actually found the surprise.

21:14A hidden waterfall.

21:15It was so pretty.

21:21We got up quite high, and we were all fine.

21:23We were all enjoying it.

21:28And then as we were getting down, that's when everything went really bad.

21:33Gradient was steep, very steep.

21:39Everything that we were standing on was just crumbling away.

21:42The slate was just falling from underneath his feet, slippy, slidy everywhere we went.

21:47And I was like, Charlie, I can't think of a way down without one of us getting seriously injured.

21:54Their friends managed to find the safe route off the rock face.

21:58But as they've gone down, I think they took the stable.

22:03Rocks and stuff with them, so there was no way for me and Nathaniel to get down at all.

22:08They're stuck.

22:10In a part of the Norwich Slate Quarry known as Sink Gallad, or California Hall.

22:16They can't climb back up, and there's a steep drop below them.

22:21They need help.

22:22Stay sheltered. Don't move from where you want to know what people get to you and talk directly to you.

22:36Llanberis Mountain Rescue volunteers set out.

22:42We initially approached the quarry from above.

22:44The back of the quarry is a sheer cliff, completely crumbling, falling apart.

22:53And I can think it's probably get in there.

22:57You can see below them, they're just above a small spree float.

23:04Yeah.

23:05They're thick, two at the bottom.

23:10You can see them down below.

23:12The pair were halfway up this face, in amongst an area of rock steps and just very loose ground.

23:17There was definitely a potential for them to injure themselves if they'd tried to move from where they were.

23:24I can't remember if we can get down very easily from here, or whether we have to go all the way back.

23:29But although they can see the stranded pair, actually getting to them is another matter.

23:35They were at the top of the cliff opposite us, and then I think they were trying to work out a way to come to us.

23:41The decision then was that we needed to come in from a lower tunnel.

23:51Meanwhile, Charlie and Nathaniel are left wondering what's happening.

23:58We thought they were going to come straight for us.

24:01So when they left, it were like, where have they gone?

24:05On the day of the rescue, there was actually a named storm blowing around, so quite strong winds.

24:14We had 70 mile an hour winds.

24:18Bits of slate, like, flicking up.

24:22Got, like, little cuts on us from the winds blowing it straight at us faces.

24:27We're in such an open area, it was freezing.

24:30Obviously scared.

24:32And we were holding on for dear life.

24:35It takes the team around 20 minutes to climb down, and make their way to the tunnels,

24:46which will bring them out just below Charlie and Nathaniel's position.

25:00He's got a drill!

25:01Finally, the team work out the best way to reach them.

25:06Keep one more person up there.

25:08A difficult climb up a steep, slippery rock face.

25:12I'm going to tie in for this red rope somewhere.

25:15Yeah, OK.

25:17Hello!

25:24Right.

25:24Yeah, I'm climbing.

25:27Lovely.

25:44Hi, guys.

25:45at last the team gets charlie and nathaniel secured with ropes

26:19if they say to you let go let go they put all your trust in them

26:26stand up characters put all your weight on the road

26:35now they can start lowering them back down the rock face

26:38the abseiling was scary because it was my first time doing it i was just scared about making one wrong move

26:49but at the end it was completely fine

26:53okay nice one nathaniel you happy

26:56nice nearly down yep we're on the right angle

27:50social media i've seen seen videos of people make it look easy but somebody's seen that video
