Call- Out Cliff faller Lydstep - 22 Aug 2007

Tenby and Manorbier team were paged to a cliff faller at Mother Carey's Kitchen Lydstep. The climbers were doing the route 'Rock Idle' when one slipped and fell injuring his ankle. Due to the heavy overhang and rough rocks, neither the rescue helicopter nor the lifeboat could get close. Tenby team sent a cliff person down and placed the casualty into a lifejacket then floated hi through the sea to a point where the Inshore Lifeboat could reach the casualty.
