A spokesperson said: "It was expected that we would find the casualty and his friend reasonably high up at an elevation of approximately 450m towards Beck Head. However, we were somewhat amazed to find them in the valley near the bridge at Gavel Neese, after somehow they had managed to struggle down together.
"Team Casualty Carers assessed and treated the casualty prior to the arrival of Rescue 936 helicopter. They were thankfully able to land near the scene and after a short stretcher carry he was airlifted to hospital for further assessment and treatment.
"The team then transported the casualty’s friend to the Wasdale Head Inn."
