Holyhead and Trearddur Bay RNLI teams were joined by the coastguard and local cliff rescuers, during the epic mission. The climber was stabilised, transferred by helicopter, and taken to hospital, after he fell 12 metres near Gogarth Bay.

The RNLI advise that if you're near cliffs, stay safe and alert. If you see someone in trouble, dial 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard.
