A climber has died after falling 450ft on a mountain in Snowdonia.
The man in his 40s, from Flintshire, was with a climbing group when he slipped in a snow-filled gully at Cwm Lloer.
The Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Team and another climbing group reached him to give him first aid.
But he died of his injuries shortly after being put aboard an RAF helicopter from Valley, said the mountain rescue team.
The incident happened at about 1120 GMT.
In a second incident, a 47-year-old man from Warwickshire suffered head, shoulder and leg injuries after falling 250ft on Y Garn at around 1430 GMT.
Chris Lloyd, spokesman for Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Team, said: “He had been snow and ice climbing and was well equipped although he was a novice winter climber.
“It is thought he tripped up on crampons and slipped.”
The mountain rescue team and RAF helicopter were again called out to reach him and the man was airlifted to Ysbyty Gwynedd.
His injuries are believed to be minor.
