Incident report

Buxton Mountain Rescue Team members who were within 15 minutes travelling distance were called to assist Edale M.R.T. which was dealing with a climbing accident in the High Neb area of Stanage Edge near Hathersage.
Five local team members responded to help the Edale members assisting a rock-climber who had fallen about six metres sustaining a head injury.   Buxton members were late to the call as the casualty had already been loaded in to an air-ambulance for a short transfer to Dennis Knoll car-park were an East Midlands ambulance was waiting. Treatment was also given to the casualty’s climbing partner who had suffered rope burns to the hands and arms.
