Mountain rescuers save couple who found themselves stuck
Mountain rescuers saved a stuck couple.
Keswick Mountain Rescue Team members were called out on April 28 at 3:58 pm after a couple went off-route on the final climb of Sharp Edge on Blencathra and got stuch overlooking Scales Tarn.
A spokesperson from Keswick MRT said: "Ropes were set up and two rescuers were lowered to the couple.
"Helmets and harnesses were fitted and the couple were then able to scramble safely up the crag with the safety of ropes and support from the team members alongside."
The incident took eight team members 3 hours and 47 minutes to complete.
