The programme celebrated the achievements of the Welsh mountain rescue teams. We hear how the Llanberis team turn out on average twice a week to rescue someone from Snowdon, how Dave Williams' quick actions saved Titch Kavanagh's life on Cader Idris and how teams also look for lost and confused people who have wandered from home.
"The work these people do really can make the difference between life and death. Despite their efforts and new technologies undreamed of 75 years ago, people continue to lose their lives in the mountains," says presenter Sian Pari Huws.
The history of mountain rescue in Wales is told by Dave Williams, Aberdyfi team, and Dr Gwyn Roberts from the Llanberis team.

As well as turning out for rescues and searches, the teams meet weekly to train. It's all voluntary and most of them also pay their own travelling costs to a rescue or search. How do they fund the teams' work?

Three years ago Titch Kavanagh fell off an ice climb on Cader Idris. He was badly injured and hospitalised for more than a year. In May 2008 he decided to come back to Dolgellau to meet Dave Williams whose quick reactions probably saved Titch's life. Dave has been a mountain rescue team volunteer for 30 years.
