Climber, 23, dies after falling 600ft from Snowdonia mountain ridge when handhold broke

A climber has died after falling 600ft from a Snowdonia mountain ridge while hiking with two friends at the weekend.

The 23-year-old, named locally as Jack Carne, was ascending Y Gribin in North Wales at 5pm on Saturday when a handhold broke, which he was using to pull himself up, causing him to fall down the mountainside.

Mountain rescue teams were called to the scene and had recovered the man's body with the help of a coastguard helicopter by Sunday afternoon.
