A walker who broke his upper arm, lower leg and ribs spent three or four hours crawling down a slope after a fall.
After a day in the fells, a man was descending from Eagle Crag when he slipped and fell on steep ground on Monday night.
Finding himself a long way from the beaten path, and with his whistles going unheard, he started his painful descent of the Ogre.
Keswick Mountain Rescue we called to action after walkers discovered the injured man. Coastguard Helicopter was quickly called in to help lift him from the fell side. A spokesman fro KMRT said: After a day in the fells a man was descending from Eagle Crag when he slipped and fell on steep ground. He suffered multiple injuries including a broken upper arm, lower leg and broken ribs. Being a long way from the beaten path his whistles went unheard so, as he said, in the spirit of the late Doug Scott and his epic descent of the Ogre he spent the next 3-4 hours crawling down the slope. Eventually he reached the lower slopes of Greenup Ghyll and was spotted by walkers.
