Shortly before 8.00pm on Tuesday, July 2, the Buxton Mountain Rescue Team (BMRT) were called to reports of a climber having suffered a fall at Water-Cum-Jolly.
A BMRT spokesperson said: “The fall resulted in a compound fracture and required immediate assistance.
“An ambulance crew from the East Midlands Ambulance Service and a doctor crew from the Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland Air Ambulance were tasked – who then administered medical care.
