A man has died after falling while climbing in Snowdonia, north Wales.
The 60-year-old man from the Oldham area was airlifted to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor after the accident on Dinas Cromlech.
The incident on Friday afternoon was the second to take place within the space of minutes in the area.
A 23-year-old student had earlier suffered head injuries after falling 30ft near Llanberis.
The dead man has not yet been named. North Wales police have said they are not treating his death as suspicious.
The incident happened at about 1536 BST on Friday.
An RAF helicopter from Valley in Anglesey airlifted the man to hospital where he later died.
