Body Found On Crib Goch

By Jon

Rescue teams looking for a walker missing in Snowdonia have found a body on the Crib Goch ridge of Snowdon.

The 56-year-old man was apparently 'training' for the 14 Welsh 3,000s and mountain rescue teams were called out when he failed to return home on Sunday evening. The ridge is notoriously narrow and exposed and has been the site of numerous accidents.

For more details see this story on the BBC web site.

A body has been found on Crib Goch ridge after a 56 year old man went missing on Snowdon yesterday. According to reports, see bbc.co.uk website, the man had been attempting a 14 peaks walking challenge and did not have a compass or map?

Having walked up to Cribyn, Pen y Fan and Corn Du on Saturday in poor weather with minimal visability, I am constantly amazed by peoples total disregard for their safety and totally inappropriate attire and kit!
