## Summary

Adrian McAnarney, a 57-year-old father of two from County Down, died after falling about 100ft on the Crib Goch ridge in Snowdonia while hiking with friends. He had been training for a planned trek to Mount Everest base camp, raising money for Northern Ireland Hospice; an inquest concluded that his death was accidental.

The inquest heard that McAnarney and a fellow hiker left the Miner's Path and walked along a goat track, where he reached for a large stone before falling. He suffered multiple crush injuries and a fatal head injury. Mountain rescue volunteers and a helicopter attended, but he was pronounced dead at the rescue base.
