The team was called by Cumbria about two people who were crag fast on Broad Stand, unable to descend safely. A full team callout was made quickly, alongside helicopter support from Rescue 199 at Prestwick, and more support from Duddon and Furness MRT. Although R199 was initially diverted, it later returned and successfully winched both casualties from the crag. They were transferred to the valley without injury. This saved significant effort and time from the teams and rescued the walkers from their predicament much more quickly. Thanks to the helicopter crew for their help once more.
Incident started at 12:19 and ended at 17:05 making 4.8 hrs in total. There were 10 Wasdale team members involved and the incident occured at NY 210069. Total rescuer hours: 48
