Man dies while ice climbing
He had been climbing with a companion, both from the north-east of England, when one fell on Howgill Fell, near Kirkby Stephen, on the border between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales.
The area is a rocky gully called Cautley Spout, which is normally a vertical waterfall from the top of the fell, but had frozen over making it ideal for ice climbing practice, according to local rescuers.
A paramedic was winched down from an Air Ambulance, but could not resuscitate the climber.
