A climber from London was visiting with his climbing club for the weekend. Whilst climbing an HS route on the Roaches upper tier, he fell, had some gear pop out, and landed hard with his back against a rock.
He had a lower back injury, coccyx. Paramedics treated the casualty on site and gave IV pain relief. He was placed on a scoop for extrication, then loaded onto the Bell stretcher and taken down to the waiting air-ambulance for transfer to hospital.
The Team were called along with Edale MRT by East Midlands Ambulance Service to assist with a fallen climber in Horseshoe Quarry, Stoney Middleton. Both teams were quickly on scene arriving after the EMAS Paramedics and EMICS Doctor. Unfortunately the patient was declared deceased from his injuries soon after. The Team remained at the scene for several hours assisting the Police with recovery and investigation.
Our thoughts and condolences go to the family and friends at this very sad time.
