Stephen Grenfell is the storyteller in True Stories of Our Day and Age
In the late afternoon of a cold December day last year an exhausted young climber reached the hotel at Pen-y-Gwryd near the Llanberis Pass in North Wales. He told Chris Briggs, the Yorkshireman who owns the hotel, of an accident that had taken place a few hours earlier 650 feet up on a sheer rock face some three-and-a-half miles away - a girl had been severely injured. Chris Briggs set out on another of the mountain rescues that have made him a legend in Snowdonia.
