Son fell 600ft to his death on Snowdonia as friends saw him 'disappear into clouds below'

The father of an amateur climber who tragically fell to his death from a mountain in Wales has paid an emotional tribute to his "amazing" son.

Jack Carne from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, was ascending Y Gribin in Snowdonia National Park (Eryri) at 5pm on Saturday February 4 when a handhold he was using to pull himself up broke, causing him to fall 600ft down the mountainside.

Rescue teams were then called to a valley between the 3,200ft Glyder Fawr and Glyder Fach peaks, with the body of the 23-year-old builder found later in the evening.
