Eleven members of Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team were called out yesterday (31 July) to a report of crag fast walkers. The rescue took 5 hours & 32 minutes to complete.
A spokesperson from WMRT said:
"A call came in from the Police about two people stuck on a ‘cliff face’. The directions provided put the people by Broad Stand close to the abseil point.
"The team were deployed in two vehicles with two members making their own way by car. The crag fast people were quickly secured and made safe by the advanced party upon arrival and lowered to the second party of team members at the bottom of Broad Stand.
"The walkers were escorted off the hill to carry on in their own car back to the hotel in Bowness."
