The body of Graham Connell, 31, was discovered in a gully in the Jacob's Ladder area on Monday.
It has also emerged his five companions, who were left disorientated and without a map after Mr Connell's fatal accident, were less than an hour from reaching safety when they took a wrong turn and ended stranded on a mountain overnight.
