A Cleveland team land rover with four members on board was sent from their base with others making their own way to the incident. 

 

The injured man was treated by the air ambulance crew and once stabilised the mountain rescue team carried him on their scoop stretcher around 100 metres to the helicopter so he could be flown to the hospital for further treatment. 

 

In total 11 team members were involved in the incident for approximately one-hour before standing down and then travelling back home or places or work.
