The Irish woman who died in a climbing accident in Spain has been named as 21-year-old Eve McCarthy.

The Dublin student died after falling around 150 metres while rock-climbing near the village of El Chorro near Malaga.

Her climbing companion also fell, but he survived by grabbing onto a boulder at the side of a ravine.

The climbers are understood to have lost their balance after taking the wrong route while descending.
