Callout 28: 23 Mar - Tryfan.
Just after 0830 this morning a male rang to say he was stuck on the west face of Tryfan. Dressed in jeans and trainers he had travelled up earlier this morning from Birmingham and had climbed Tryfan to take photographs of Llyn Bochlwyd or Idwal (It's hard to say as he had no map to relate to). He attempted to descend the west face but became stuck, wet and cold, in one of the gullies and called for help. Once the by now familiar Covid 19 checks had been established a team lead climbed up to him and made him safe. They conducted a multi pitch lower to safe ground and he was confidence roped back down to the roadside and spoken to. Unbelievably, he asked where he should go tomorrow to get some good photos but was advised he should maybe go home instead. |  |

Should have left him there for a few more hours to think about what he had done.

Quite. Obviously clueless and should have gone further, as you can get both lakes in one picture if you go high enough. Tsk, bl00dy amateurs! |  |

I wouldn't want to be blithering up the sides of Tryfan without proper equipment.

I’m closely involved with MR in the Lakes (not a volunteer myself unfortunately) and stories like this are all too common.
The pressure put on teams last weekend was incredible in the current climate. They’ve taken the unprecedented stance of telling people to stay away.
Tragically we had a fatality up here too. |  | | |

I do wonder whether there are some people that are simply not aware of what is going on. Loads of people never read a newspaper, nor watch nor listen to the news on TV or radio. I suppose they get their information from social media with all the inaccurate and misinformation that appears there. | | | |

Cripes! It sounds stoopid enough without the added coronal lockdown complication. |  |

Fifty years ago the medics' conversation with him would have included the phrase 'and now the enema...' |  |
