A member of a rescue team in Snowdonia; November 1952 by Geoff Charles (1909-2002)
Mountain rescue in Wales is the search and rescue activities that occur in the mountainous and other wilderness environments in Wales. Wales is largely mountainous with its higher peaks in the north and central areas, including Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa), its highest summit. Mountain rescue teams are called out through the police, via the 999 system, to assist police, fire and ambulance. They also work closely with the Air Ambulance and HM Coastguard helicopters as well as the search and rescue dog associations and cave rescue.
Voluntary mountain rescue teams in Wales are independent charities whose members are highly trained volunteers, who offer a free service and who are called out by the police. Some are members of the 'Mountain Rescue England and Wales' organisation.
About 375,000 people walk the paths to the summit of Snowdon every year; around 1% will need assistance to come down the mountain.[1]
