A Lake District climber was rescued after he broke both his wrists in a fall.
The climber was tackling Troutdale Pinnacle on Black Crag, Borrowdale, on Thursday.
He and his belay partner were secured by other climbers nearby and Keswick Mountain Rescue Team was called out.
The team made their way to the top of the almost 100 metre high crag to rig a rope rescue system.
The team said: “A team member was lowered to the casualty where he was assessed, secured to the team member and they continued to the ground for further treatment and pain relief.
“His uninjured belayer was then reached by a second team member from above and safely lowered to the ground. We wish the climber a speedy recovery and hope the old friends are back out in the future.
“Many thanks to the climbers on the on the crag who helped and Penrith Mountain Rescue Team for their assistance.”
