A man had to be rescued after falling over 16ft down Scafell Pike.
He sustained several injuries, including to his head and leg, during the incident on April 16. Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team was called out by the ambulance service.
The team said: “The team leader made a swift callout and also asked an advance party to get to the scene quickly.
“Once on scene a medical assessment was made, and the casualty was treated and given pain relief.
“He was then transferred to the stretcher and carefully taken back to Brackenclose to the waiting land ambulance for the onward journey to hospital.
“We wish the walker a very quick recovery. He was incredibly stoic, having sustained his injuries at the bottom of Mickledore gully on the scree, and somehow getting close to the stream crossing before calling for help.”
