Team Work




It takes a few partner agencies to carry out a rescue.

HM Coastguard - the coordinators of the incident.

HM Coastguard Swanage and St Albans Rescue Teams - boots on the ground! rope rescue teams

RNLI - Swanage All Weather Lifeboat and inshore lifeboat declared facility to HM Coastguard

Rescue 104 - air asset

NHS - medical treatment (not in the photo)

The picture - Roger and Kerry, Cliff edge safety officers , have moved away from the cliff having cleared the ledge of climbers and climbing equipment. This was to allow the aircraft to operate safely and not cause the down wash from the rotors to blow anyone away.

Meanwhile the winchman and RNLI crew tended to the injured climber below.
