A 19-YEAR-OLD has died on England's highest peak.
The man was climbing Scafell Pike with a friend at around 3pm on Friday when they became separated in snowy conditions.
Members of Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team started their search but were forced to withdraw when weather deteriorated.
Cumbria Police said the body of the climber was recovered shortly before midday yesterday (Saturday).
Further details are expected to be released when his family have been informed.
