Heart stopping footage of two climbers rescued from 'knife-edge' Crib Goch in Snowdonia (with footage)

Two climbers have been dramatically rescued from a 'knife-edge' mountain ledge in Snowdonia after becoming cragfast.
Just before 6.45pm on Saturday 22 July, North Wales Police requested UK Coastguard air assistance from the Aeronautical Rescue Coordination Centre (ARCC) to rescue the two men who were in an extremely dangerous position on Crib Goch.
Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team had already reached the stricken climbers and made them safe by roping them off the cliff and up to the top of the ridge, just before the UK Coastguard search and rescue helicopter based at St Athan arrived. The two men were winched on board the helicopter and dropped off at our at Mountain Rescue Base at Nant Peris, leaving the team members on the mountain to enjoy the sunset and walk off. It's heart-stopping footage with a good ending with both men safe and well, not requiring any medical treatment.
