An amateur photographer had to be rescued from a steep and rocky gully on Monday after getting stuck while taking pictures of the sunrise.
It was the third time in three days mountain rescue teams in north Wales had to be called out, despite warnings from the government to stay at home.
Even after being escorted off the mountain, the rescued man had not grasped the severity of the situation and turned to his rescuers, from Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue, asking which mountain he should scale on Tuesday.
He had travelled to North Wales from Birmingham for the weekend and scaled the west face of Tryfan dressed in just jeans and trainers. The only thing in his rucksack was his camera equipment.
The day before, the same team were called out to a man from the Wirral who had got stuck on steep ground on the south ridge of Pen Yr Ole Wen.
Such an attitude is "hugely frustrating", said Chris Lloyd, who works for Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue.
"We are at risk from coronavirus too, not just from casualties but from each other as well. We work in very close proximity to each other and if someone is carrying it, another person could easily get infected."
It seems the message has finally got through now, said Mr Lloyd, who said the mountains had been quiet since Monday.
"I think people have probably got the message now," he added.
"I can understand the attraction of coming to the mountains, but now is not the time."
