Climber who died after falling 800ft on Snowdon named as Steven Smith.

A walker who died after falling more than 800ft down a steep rocky slope on frozen Snowdon was Steven Smith.

The 48 year old from Rotherham had been with a friend on the 3,560ft peak. The tragedy, spotted by other climbers, was alerted police on Saturday.

It’s thought he may have slipped on ice and snow at Clogwyn Coch.

A coastguard rescue helicopter flew eight Llanberis mountain rescue team volunteers up the mountain to recover the victim.
