A walker has died from head injuries after falling 500ft on a mountain in Snowdonia.
The man, believed to be in his 30s, was more than 3,000 ft up Y Garn when an avalanche swept him and a young woman off their feet.
The woman escaped uninjured in the incident on Saturday. Rescuers say he had been fully equipped.
