Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team was called out by Cumbria police after a walker became exhausted while out on Striding Edge.
The team was called at around 5.20pm last night, Monday, April 11.
The person who reported the incident was contacted by mobile phone and, after an initial assessment, was encouraged to make their way slowly down with the exhausted walker.
Meanwhile, a small party of team members ascended to meet them.
The casualty was examined and provided with additional food and drink before they completed the descent to the valley. The rescue lasted two hours and involved six team members.
