Boy, 11, rescued from Brimham Rocks
Upper Wharfedale Fell Rescue Association
Rescuers came to the aid of an 11-year-old boy who got stuck at Brimham Rocks yesterday.
Upper Wharfedale Fell Rescue Association was called to the National Trust-owned site near Pateley Bridge by North Yorkshire Police.
The boy had reached the top of Castle Rocks but then felt unable to get down safely.
Nine members of the volunteer-run association attended the incident.
Its website said:
"A small team was deployed, rigging a rope and lowering him safely and uninjured to ground level, whereupon he was reunited with his grandmother."
The association has attended several similar incidents at Brimham Rocks this year.
