summer fun feature - page 14
A MAN has been described as lucky to be alive after being involved in a fall at Thurlstone Quarry. Woodhead Mountain Rescue Team were called out on the evening of July 4 at 20.36 to Thurlstone Quarry to assist Yorkshire Ambulance Service with an incident.
As well as the Mountain Rescue Team were the Yorkshire Air Ambulance crew and the Hazardous Area Response Team (HART) along with Yorkshire Ambulance Service. The other climber, Ross Keeble, took to Facebook to thank Woodhead Mountain Rescue Team and provided an update on the climber’s condition.
Two friends had been planning some climbing routes in the quarry He commented: “Phil was discharged previously and were about to abseil from at 2am this morning with no major injuries. An absolute freak down the crag face. accident and a miracle that nothing They had set up a belay at the top and were about to clip in when the whole of the top of the crag gave way beneath one of the climbers, sending him plummeting to the bottom of the crag some seven metres below.
worse happened. As the other climber on the scene I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who attended the incident. “As experienced climbers we always pop change into the MRT boxes hoping we never have to call, but were so grateful last night. Every one of you are heroes in my book!” You can donate to Woodhead Mountain Rescue Team at https://www. justgiving.com/wmrt
Unbelievably, the climber managed to stay on the rock avoiding the unthinkable and lay in wait for the emergency services to arrive. He was treated for suspected spinal injuries and a possible leg injury, transferred into a vacuum mattress for immobilization and onto the stretcher for the carry out of the quarry to the ambulance.
