Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team reports a surge in mountain rescues of young men at Eryri National Park's Crib Goch in Gwynedd, with 24-year-olds being the primary casualties. Nathan Mburu, a London-based fitness influencer, shared his near-death experience on the ridge, emphasizing the need for proper planning and preparation when attempting challenging terrains. Nathan and his friends, inadequately equipped for the changing weather conditions, required a rescue team after being stranded due to lack of preparedness.
