Fifteen volunteers from the Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team were once again on the flanks of Snowdon this weekend. A group of six martial arts enthusiasts had attempted to push a 31-year-old man in a wheelchair up the main track to the summit of Snowdon, but found the going too tough when they reached the Allt Moses just below the Clogwyn train station, below the small track branching off to Cloggy.

The martial artists then decided to leave the man behind and continue to the summit. On their return they discovered they were too tired to push him back down and phoned for assistance.

Are martial artists supposed to be superfit ? when i did judo and karate i was at the peak of my fitness, thease guys were like yellow belts students trying to prove a point or something yea ! i find it really annoying when the rescue team has to deal with morons like thease, i hope the martial arts club they belonged to made a donation to the llanberis mountain rescue team and an apology :x
