A climber was airlifted to hospital after suffering a "significant" head injury when he fell from a ledge in Snowdonia.
The man, in his 20s, was lead-climbing on Craig yr Aderyn in North Wales around midday on Saturday, August 27, when he was knocked unconscious. He fell past his partner, a woman in her 20's, for the length of the rope in play, but she managed to hold the fall.
Aberdyfi Search and Rescue Team said the man sustained multiple cuts to his body during the tumble down steep ground, and also a significant head injury which resulted in a brief loss of consciousness. Although bleeding heavily, the pair managed to return him to the ledge and she was able to raise the alarm - although her message was cut off before full details could be passed on to the police call-handler, North Wales Live reports.
