Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team were called out on Sunday after a walker on Striding Edge started struggling with cramp.
The cramp was caused by fatigue combined with wet and cold weather.
The team leader made phone contact and the casualty and his friend were advised to retrace their step back to safer ground.
The pair started to warm up once they started to move again and managed to get back to the start of Striding Edge and then met the team on way their down into Grisedale.
