young man has died after falling while attempting to climb a mountain ridge in Snowdonia.
Mountain rescuers were called to the Gribin Ridge on Saturday, where three young men had been ascending when a handhold broke away, “causing one to fall a considerable distance”.
Posting about the incident on Facebook, Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Organisation (OVMRO) said: “Sadly, he did not survive his injuries.”
The recovery mission continued through to Sunday lunchtime, when the man was retrieved with the aid of a Coastguard helicopter.
