Callout Time: 2:43 pm
Agencies Involved: Keswick MRT

A couple were ascending Hall’s Fell ridge on Blencathra when one of the party became extremely anxious due to the exposed nature of the scramble. Rather than continue they decided to maintain their position and call for help. A small group of team members began the ascent up the ridge from Gategill, but in the meantime a team member who happened to be in the area, was able to descend the ridge from the summit and help the distressed person to the top. The couple were then able to make their own way down the main path to the car park.

11 team members – 2 hours 7 minutes
