Incident report
Whilst team members were enjoying a spring-like afternoon, we were contacted to respond to a fallen climber at the Roaches.
The climber had taken a fall from Right Route on the Upper Tier and landed at the base of the climb.
Three response vehicles and 18 operational team members responded.
On arrival at the casualty site, we were met by Midlands Air Ambulance Charity and West Midlands Ambulance Service, who had administered pain relief to make the climber more comfortable.
The casualty was then carefully placed onto the team’s stretcher and transported over the tricky, rocky terrain to the awaiting air ambulance in the adjacent field.
We would like to thank nearby climbers who assisted the casualty.
We wish the casualty a full and speedy recovery.
