Snowdon’s treacherous Crib Goch mountain ridge has caused the death of a dog-walker.
Llanberis Mountain Rescue volunteer volunteers and a Coastguard Rescue helicopter were dispatched to assist the victim after she shouted at her partner from the summit on Sunday.
After the group was escorted safely to safety, North Wales Police discovered that the woman had been discovered.
After appeals for a black-and-tan Collie mix dog missing, she was located. It is believed that it belonged to her. She has been reunited with the family.
Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team uploaded a photograph of the dog to its Facebook Page on Tuesday, in which they thanked everyone who had helped with the search.
According to the post, “The dog was found.” Many thanks to all who helped. He is currently at a team member’s house until he can be reunited with his family.
‘He’s quite happy in front of the fire and a the team vet is on her way over to check him out. Keep checking back with us. Again, thank you for the amazing responses.
The volunteers went on to issue an urgent warning to Christmas walkers to be wary when climbing the Crib Goch ridge over the festive period.
It was stated that it could be dangerous.
According to the group, novice walkers should avoid this ridge because it is extremely dangerous.

The dangers of falling, falling and being blown away from the narrower parts of the Ridge are all possible.
Crib Goch is steep and requires walkers to use their arms to climb the steeper sections.
In recent years, it has seen many fatalities.
Following being struck by lightning while hiking up the mountain in July, 2 hikers were taken to the hospital.
One of the rescuers stated that the woman had been bleeding when they reached the peak at 3.47pm.
Both the one-legged and the two-legged walkers suffered minor injuries in the accident. The other received serious injuries.
Snowdon’s summit is pictured above, and hikers have expansive views over Britain on clear days. To get up to the summit and return, it takes about six to eight hours.
One more walker was killed while walking on Snowdon last October, the day before the mountain was jammed with hikers.
A month before, a man fell a significant distance on the Pyg Track. Two days later another hiker, who had collapsed near the Bwlch Main peak, died.
In October 2017, a skilled mountain rescuer was killed in a training exercise in Snowdonia.
Kevin Hallahan was with the Dublin Mountain Rescue Team (Wicklow Mountain Rescue Team) on Crib Goch in north Wales, when he fell.
Hallahan, who had served as a team member since 2011, was described by his colleagues as a selfless hero who would risk his life in order to help others.
