A man with a broken wrist spent an hour trying to save his hospital doctor friend after she fell 30ft to her death, an inquest heard today.
Dr Charlotte Crook, 31, and her colleague Adam Weatherhogg had been walking in Snowdonia on February 16 when Ms Crook slipped and plunged off a grassy ledge.
Senior coroner John Gittins praised the 'amazing efforts' that Mr Weatherhogg made as he carried out chest compressions in a bid to help Dr Crook, of Perry Barr, Birmingham.
Her parents described the hills and mountains as their only child's 'happy place.' She had a 'passion for exploration of the great outdoors.'
Dr Crook was an experienced walker but died from a head injury last February on Glyder Fach.
