A team from Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue and Llandudno Coastguard scrambled to the Little Orme last night after an attempt to climb the rock went wrong.

Two males reportedly attempted to climb the cliffs facing the Lifeboat Station but became stuck.

They then phoned 999 reporting they were unable to hold on much longer so the team were deployed in rescuing the men.

In addition to the mountain rescuerers, Llandudno coastguard's team and the rescue helicopter from Caernarfon took part in the operation.

This saw emergency team members lowered to the casualties who were then placed in emergency harnesses before being recovered to safe ground.

It is understood that the males were unhurt but shaken by the incident.
