A group of four were on Sharp Edge, when one of them fell to the north side of the ridge and out of sight. The team mobilised with assistance from Penrith MRT. Split into two groups, one team made their way to the casualty whilst the other went to assist the rest of the group off the ridge. Sadly, the man did not survive the fall.

Many thanks to Coastguard R199 and Penrith MRT for their response and support.

Our thoughts and condolences go to the man’s friends and family.
