4 Cwm Idwal, High Pasture 07/01/2024 Duration: 09:28 2 people 12 members attended	Two hillwalkers had climbed the Idwal Staircase scramble and continued on to High Pasture to the right of Central Gully but were unable to continue up or down. The hillwalkers were not equipped with harness, helmets or technical climbing gear. The rescue helicopter (R936) deployed but was unable to winch or recover the cragfast walkers due concerns regarding the downdraft dislodging the pair and the winch cable not being long enough for the terrain. A hill party had been deployed and were only able to access the walkers' location by lead-climbing up to them in marginal winter conditions. Technical rope lower systems were rigged with the aid of RAFMRT and the pair finally recovered to safer ground before walking off.
