Led group of prostate cancer survivors on Snowdon via Maesgwm/Ranger path.
One participant developed lightheadedness followed by nausea then vomiting. This abated but was followed by intense quadracep cramps high up on the zigzags of the ranger path. Once Bwlch Glas was reached, this abated and 7/10 were able to summit. Coaching not required but pace management was needed to drive the day and also moderate the climbing sections to a manageable pace.
