Rope rescue
Cumbria Police tasked the Team with investigating the area of Dove Crag following reports of an abandoned climbing rope. A small party made their way to scene where no signs of any abandoned kit could be found. The climbing rope had likely been used by a party to abseil off the crag once they had completed their route.
