Sad news from North Wales where a walker died after falling from
Crib Goch on Snowdon last Thursday.
The man has been named as John Richard Norcross, 60, from Woodley
near Stockport. Reportedly an experienced walker, he apparently fell
around 300 feet from the narrow, exposed ridge which forms part of
the classic grade one Snowdon Horseshoe route on the mountain.
Crib Goch isn't technically a difficult route - there are no
awkward climbing moves involved - however it's very exposed with
steep drops on either side in many sections and, like many
knife-edged ridges can be tricky in high winds.
Our condolences to Mr Norcross's friends and family.
