Penrith Mountain Rescue Team rushed to help a fallen climber after a call from emergency services.
The team scrambled to the climber who was close to Armathwaite Crag, on Monday.
A spokesman for the team said: "Community First Responders and a Paramedic were able to access the casualty quickly but the rescue team was needed for the extraction back on to safe ground.
"A twin rope hauling system was used to bring the casualty on a team stretcher up the steep ground to a team vehicle for a short drive to the waiting ambulance."
Crews were in attendance for more than three hours.
