A young builder was killed when he fell 600ft during a climbing trip with friends.
Jack Carne, 23, was climbing the Snowdonia peak Y Gribin when a handhold broke and he plunged to his death on February 4. Jack was described as a "true gentleman" and the "nicest lad you'll ever meet" after a fundraising page was set up by his devastated friends, North Wales Live reports.
Senior coroner for North Wales east and central, John Gittins, gave "multiple crush injuries" as a provisional cause of death at an inquest opening on Monday, February 13.

Jack, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, was with two friends Mathew Belcher and Brendan Smith and the tragedy occurred as they made their way to the summit of Glyder Fawr from Llyn Ogwen. His friends, who were rescued by Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Team, raised the alarm.
Jack's body was found by the rescuers but due to poor weather conditions it could not be recovered until the following day.
A fundraiser set up in his memory has raised over £11,000 so far. A message on the GoFundme page said the funds will be used to help his family who are "suffering so bad at the moment due to this tragedy."
You can donate to the fundraiser here. A full inquest would take place later in the year, the coroner confirmed.
