Woman falls to her death from notorious knife-edge Snowdonia peak

A woman died after falling from a notorious Snowdonia peak while out with her dog.

The tragedy came to light after North Wales Police appealed for help to find a missing black and tan Collie cross dog which is understood to belong to the woman.

The women fell to her death on Sunday from the knife-edge Crib Goch ridge, the Daily Post reported.

The rocky structure leads to Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales.

A coastguard rescue helicopter from Caernarfon and Llanberis mountain rescuers was called out.

Rescuers had been alerted by her partner and others on the peak who heard shouting.

The mountain rescue volunteers escorted the woman’s partner back down to safety.

Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team found the woman's dog after a concerted search.

The volunteers went on to warn Christmas walkers and climbers to be careful when climbing in Crib Goch over the festive season

They said: "Please be careful in this area as it can be very hazardous."

The rescue team have previously said that Crib Goch is “extremely dangerous and should not be attempted by novice walkers”.

The ridge, which is 923m above sea level, is one of the wettest spots in the UK, with an average of 4,473 millimetres (176.1 in) rainfall a year over the past 30 years.
