Woman rescued from Welsh mountain after fall while scattering father’s ashes

Kitty Harrison clung to tiny ledge above 300ft drop for more than three hours before helicopter rescue

A woman has told of how she had to be rescued by a helicopter and 12-strong mountain rescue team when she slipped while scattering her father's ashes on one of Wales' highest mountains.

Kitty Harrison had just given her father, Steve Parry, an emotional send-off on the summit of Tryfan in Snowdonia when she lost her footing. The 32-year-old trainee dental nurse had to cling to a tiny ledge where she balanced precariously above a 300ft (91m) drop for more than three hours.
