The 46 year old man, part of an Outdoor Education Centre group, had dislocated his shoulder in a trip on the steep ground of Pared y Cefn hir. Team volunteers were quickly on scene to help with management of the casualty, and given the man's pain levels, along with the difficulty of the terrain and rapidly failing light, it was decided to request assistance from the Coastguard Helicopter R936.
At around 7:30 p.m. the man was winched aboard R936 and flown to Ysbyty Gwynedd at Bangor for further assessment and treatment. The remaining centre group members, all uninjured, were assisted down off the hill by Team volunteers and centre staff.
