A man has died after a fall on a mountain in Snowdonia.

North Wales Police said the 32-year-old was killed on the east face of Tryfan in the Ogwen Valley, Gwynedd, at around 1900BST on Saturday.

It is thought the man was coming down the mountain with his wife, when they became disorientated in the cloud and he slipped and fell.

The couple are understood to be from Oxfordshire, while the man's parents are thought to live in north Wales.

An RAF helicopter and local mountain rescue teams co-ordinated the recovery of the body. Police said an inquiry into the incident was under way.

Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Team, who were in the area on a rescue training weekend, were carrying out an investigation to establish exactly what happened.
