Seventeen team members were involved after a callout at 5.51pm to a group of walkers who were finding it difficult to find the right route to descend from Scafell Pike.
Their position was determined using PhoneFind as being near the wall at the top of Piers Gill.
They were given some directions to start walking up the wall towards Lingmell Col whilst team members went up the fell to meet them and help walk them down. The incident was closed at 9.33pm.
