The pair, identified in reports as Christopher McCallion, 30, and brother James, 35, were said to have been training for endurance events when they fell as far as 1,000ft in freezing conditions.

They were discovered on Monday morning, having fallen from the notorious blackspot on the mountain's west side at Clogwyn Coch.

It is not known how long the brothers lay dead before being found, nor if the snow fall overnight caused the accident.

Christopher McCallion's wife Katie-Ann is understood to have given birth to their son James Jnr - named after his uncle - last September.

At the family home in Severn Beach, Bristol, on Monday night, a relative said a tribute to the brothers with confirmation of their names would be issued on Tuesday.

Christopher had competed in Iron Man events in the past and is believed to have been in North Wales with his brother as training.

Their families reported them missing at 9pm on Sunday when they failed to return home to Bristol.

Volunteers from the Llanberis and Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue teams joined forces with North Wales Police and the RAF Squadron 22 to mount a search operation.

It was thought the pair were crossing the treacherous stretch without ice axes or climbing crampons as the weather changed for the worse.
