Glencoe MRT said Mr Ringart was only wearing a base layer, fleece and waterproof jacket.
“It was cold on the summit and there was a significant wind chill,” the spokesman said.
“Members of the walking group mentioned that the casualty had been stumbling and falling. They did not know the reason this happened but exposure could have certainly been a factor.”
Ms Taylor expressed regret that no full statements had been taken from other members of the hiking group, which might have provided some explanation about what happened.
A pathologist had ruled out foul play, found no significant injuries and concluded that death was due to exposure and hypothermia, the inquest heard.
Ms Taylor concluded Mr Ringart’s death was an accident.
