Incident report

Buxton Mountain Rescue Team called by West Midlands Air-ambulance crew following a climbing incident on Hen Cloud near the Roaches, Staffordshire. A 26 year old man from London was solo climbing when he fell about six metres sustaining leg and possible pelvic injuries.  The helicopter was first on scene but was unable to land near the accident site.  Whilst the paramedic aircrew treated the casualty the rescue team climbed to the scene with a stretcher. Following assessment and treatment the man was carried by rescue stretcher back to the top of the crag and then about half a kilometre to where the air-ambulance was waiting to transfer him to a North Staffordshire hospital.
