Mountain rescue teams were called out to help a walker who had hurt their ankle on Scafell Pike.
Cumbria police called Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team on Sunday after they received a call about the walker at about 4.40pm.
The volunteers were supported by the Duddon and Furness team and helicopter help was requested.
Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team said: “Coastguard helicopter Rescue 936 from Caernarfon attended. Fortunately the cloud lifted just at the right time to enable the helicopter to get on scene, the limb was splinted and the casualty was airlifted to hospital.”
Nineteen members of the Wasdale team and nine members of Duddon and Furness were involved in the callout, which lasted for four hours and 50 minutes.
