An ice climber has died after falling 100ft (30m) from a snow-covered mountain in Snowdonia.
The man was flown by helicopter to hospital in Bangor following the fall 2,500ft (762m) up on Glyder Fawr above the Ogwen Valley.
But attempts to revive him en-route by the crew from RAF Valley failed and he was confirmed dead in hospital.
Crews later rescued a couple who who had become stuck in the snow on the other side of the valley.
The walkers, who were in their late twenties, were winched to safety from their position 2,000ft (610m) up Carnedd Dafydd.
Chris Lloyd of Ogwen mountain rescue team said someone had seen the ice climber fall a long distance, while the stranded pair had been "on a summer walking route".
He added: "Conditions are hazardous. There is a risk of powdered snow avalanche and there is also a hard crust."
Earlier this week, rescuers warned people not to go into the mountains of north Wales over Easter unless fully prepared.
Two separate rescues took place on Monday involving a total of six people and a further two rescues of walkers during during a 24 hour period happened in the last few days.
