A young builder was killed when he plunged 600ft from a Snowdonia peak during a climbing trip with friends, an inquest heard.
Jack Carne, 23, suffered multiple injuries after a piece of rock gave way while he was scaling Y Gribin. Mountain rescuers said he had been "extremely unfortunate" during the fall on February 4.
A coroner heard Jack - described as "the nicest lad you'll ever meet" - 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.
