She was accompanied by her friend, who had travelled to Snowdonia separately to climb the mountain when the tragedy occurred. Kate Sutherland, assistant coroner for North Wales east and central, heard that attempts were made by Mrs Orton's friend and subsequently the Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Team to assist the fallen climber.
She was then winched onto a coastguard helicopter and taken to the Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue base in Capel Curig where she was sadly pronounced dead.
Mrs Orton's friend was assisted on her way down the mountain and was supported by members of the mountain rescue team at the base thereafter.
The cause of death of Mrs Orton, who was formally identified by her husband, was withheld pending inquest. The inquest was adjourned to a future date yet to be fixed.
