    As a voluntary mountain guide and rescuer, I can definitely say you've done a great job and probably saved your friend from severe hypothermia, possibly death. On that note, it's hard to judge the terrain just from the video, but if you don't know the mountain like the back of your hand (or even if you do) & you aren't 101% sure about it, never descend down steep slopes like that... You never know if there's a vertical part somewhere lower down. We had numerous accidents where party members, searching for fall victims did the same mistake and ended up seriously injured or even dead themselves as well...
    Another important thing to mind is the prioritization of dangers... If hypothermia becomes almost certain and the main danger to the victim, you should risk moving him (even if it hurts and may cause spinal injuries), so a party member can lay next to him to radiate heat. This gives the victim better chances of survival in the long run. At that point, you're not trying to keep him in the best form anymore, but just keep him alive.
    Glad everything played well for you and your friends. You've reacted very well given the situation. Real leader, I hope your friends appreciate this. Stay safe and good luck!

That exact slope made me feel uneasy and I went down the longer but easier Llanberis path. I'm glad I did. That day I've made a donation to MR and I advise everyone to do the same. Our lives might depend on them one day. Speedy recovery Rory!Cheers.

    This shows the importance of having a foil blanket in your medical kit, as well as carrying additional warm weather and waterproof gear, because you never really know when you will need it. In addition, have a map and compass and know how to use it, and a whistle. all very small and very light things that can save yours or someone's life. Great video

You did well and I hope Ed is doing much better now.
    In Germany, majority of the mountain rescue are volunteers too, and I salute them. Sadly this year took a big toll on them, not only due to more frequent operations, but also since they can not throw public events where they basically raise funds. I hope everyone considers them in their yearly donations!

    Too many people do not show the mountains enough respect. I'm a hugely experienced walker but having been in Eryri in some of the worst conditions it still makes me think how things could go so wrong so quickly, just like it did to these guys.
    The MRT are the heroes of our mountain community and deserve far more praise and funding than they get. Next time you're out in the mountains and the villages amongst them, if you see an MRT fundraising bottle, drop in a few pounds, it all helps.

    You can thank Jack a Snacks for me finding this. I've never seen a video of a whole situation play out like this, I've read a lot of mountain rescue reports but this really hit home. That's one new monthly donation my localish mountain rescue team will be getting. I'm glad Eddy has made a full recovery.

    -Carry at least one wistle, to be located asap. screaming may not work

      And mountain rescue are forever asking people to wear bright jackets not dark because if you're not lucky enough to have someone with a whistle, they are really going to struggle to see you. Also what does a foil blanket weigh to have in your backpack too.

      @@isthatreallytruetho My hiking clothes are bright, but sometimes I use camo (I am a biologist and when doing a wildlife census we have to use camo clothing).
      I used to use old military surplus, which is the worst idea ever because military camo fabric also hides you in the infrared spectrum (th-cam.com/video/E6HaJLpDcIA/w-d-xo.html) so rescue helicopters with IR cameras wont locate you either. After learning this I got hunting camo, it reflects in the IR range o you glow like with regular clothes. When wearing camo I always carry a reflective vest in a pocket. Like the ones you have in your car.

      You're wise to only do Crib Goch on a clear day and with a leader of some sort, Abi! Funnily enough the ridge isn't even that bad. The fact that it's so exposed makes people extra cautious on it. It's the seemingly easy parts which will get you! (like a grassy slope, for example).

      The problem with a move to paying for MR is that in reality it's probably linked to a requirement for mountain insurance. The highly professional teams in France, Austria etc can be so because insurance payments pay for their service. I don't think the UK is prepared to go with mountaineers' insurance, nor do I think there is appetite for Government funding, whether that be a top up to the current model of charitable funding for volunteer services, or a more drastic change to a government-funded full-time professional model.

    fair fucking play to you Dave for keeping such a level head despite what was in front of you, keeping everyone in the right head space to get thru it all until the cavalry arrived. Without that kind of leadership and knowledge in the first place of what to get done straight away, such as getting him off the cold ground etc is ultimately what meant he stayed alive for the mountain rescue guys to then come and finish the job and get him down safely.
