A coastguard rescue helicopter from Caernarfon and Llanberis mountain rescuers were also called out.

The mountain rescue volunteers escorted the woman’s partner back down to safety.

Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team had been looking for the missing black and tan dog which has since been found.

North Wales Police also put out an appeal.

Mountain volunteers went on to warn Christmas walkers and climbers to be careful when climbing in Crib Goch over the festive season.

They said: "Please be careful in this area as it can be very hazardous."
