A 20-year-old medical student died after falling over 500 feet on Snowdon's Llanberis Path in May 2024. He had continued climbing alone after his family turned back due to bad weather, became lost, and called for help twice before falling in severe wind and dangerous conditions. An inquest concluded his death was accidental, likely caused by strong winds or slipping in the hazardous weather.
