Friends of Jack Carne, who fell 200ft on Glyder Fawr, vow to keep hiking

Two men who witnessed their best friend Jack Carne fall to his death from Glyder Fawr in Wales say they will continue hiking in his memory. The friends believe Jack would not have wanted them to stop adventuring. The tragic incident has not deterred them from pursuing the outdoor activities they all loved together.

Two close friends who watched Jack Carne plummet 200 feet to his death on the Welsh mountain Glyder Fawr have said they will not abandon their passion for hiking, believing it is what Jack would have wanted.

The men, who were present when Carne fell from the summit of Glyder Fawr in Snowdonia, Wales, described the experience as devastating but said turning their backs on the mountains would feel like a betrayal of their friend's spirit. For the group, hiking was a shared passion that defined their friendship.

Despite the trauma of witnessing the fatal fall, both survivors have spoken about the importance of continuing to explore the outdoors as a way of honouring Carne's memory. They described Jack as someone who lived life fully and adventurously, and said he would have urged them to keep going.

The tragedy on Glyder Fawr, one of the highest peaks in Wales, has prompted reflection on the risks of mountain hiking, but the friends say the answer is not to stop. Instead, they hope to carry Jack's love of adventure with them on every future journey they take.
