A dramatic rescue unfolded at the scenic Craig y Forwen, nestled in the stunning World’s End valley between Llangollen and Wrexham. On Sunday evening, May 3, a climber suffered a serious fall, prompting a swift response from emergency services.
Witnesses watched on as multiple police and ambulance services, along with the skilled North East Wales Search and Rescue (NEWSAR) team, rushed to the scene.
