Cumbria Police received a call from a lone male walker who reported being stuck at Stand Crag on the Corridor Route and was uncomfortable moving. The MRT Team Leader attempted to make contact, but calls and messages were not getting through. With a location available from the initial 999 call, the team was deployed.
Police then received an update via the iPhone Emergency Satellite Service, stating the walker was lost and stuck. As MRT arrived at the RV point and began kitting up, confirmation came through that the male had self‑rescued back onto the main path.
The team stood down and spoke with his wife, who was waiting for him in the valley. Later, the Team Leader received notification that he was safely off the hill.
Incident started at 14:58 and ended at 18:30 making 3.5 hrs in total. There were 10 Wasdale team members involved and the incident occured at NY 2180008500. Total rescuer hours: 35
