CALLOUT - Cragfast teenager at Trevor Rocks 21.03.26

Callout 3 of 4

Within minutes of completing Callout 2 and still on scene packing kit in Wepre Park, we were contacted by @northwalespolice requesting our assistance at Trevor Rocks (more than 20miles away), following reports of a teenager who had become crag fast—meaning they were stuck on steep or rocky ground, unable to safely move up or down.

After assessing the situation, a team member quickly made their way to the base of the cliff where they made contact with the teenager. While the rest of the team arrived with kit for the extraction they did an excellent job of providing reassurance and calming them, as they were understandably shaken.

A rope system was promptly set up, and the team safely extracted the casualty back to secure ground. Thankfully, there were no injuries—just a fright.

Another example of great teamwork from all involved.

Our team of volunteers are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days responding to those in need throughout Flintshire, Denbighshire, Wrexham & parts of Conwy & Powys.
