I cannot imagine why the so called group leader or bright spark, chose Carnedd Llewellyn to take 13 totally ill equipped walkers out for a winter walk.
Firstly, there are no real easy routes to its summit, all involve quite a lengthy walk, and its one of the most exposed summits in the whole of Northern Snowdonia.
If anything untoward happens, safety is a long way away.
A winter traverse of this mountain, is for the experienced walker only, not ill equipped novices.
The exposure on Llewellyn's summit is even more acute than Snowdon, and when temperatures are as low as they have been, Carnedd Llewellyn is no place for the inexperienced or ill prepared.
In that era when there were no mobile phones, this kind of rescue would never have taken place, simply because the 13 walkers would not have dared venture anywhere near the mountain, knowing there was no backup or phone call to the mountain rescue to come to their aid.
I can understand it happening on Snowdon, but Carnedd Llewellyn is a far more difficult challenge in the depths of winter.
Another thing that annoys me also, is that the muppets in the local and national press, alway's refer to llewellyn as Wales second highest mountain.
It's the third highest, with Crib Y Ddysgl or Carnedd Ugain, next to Snowdon, just pipping it to the post.
