Cave Rescue Organisation
A 57 YEAR old man was airlifted to hospital after suffering chest pains at Malham Cove on Saturday.
Volunteers from the Clapham based Cave Rescue Organisation (CRO) received a call for help and located the man three quarters of the way up the steps at the cove.
A spokesman said: "After assessment by, and treatment from an air ambulance doctor and paramedic, the patient was transferred to CRO’s bell stretcher, then carried and ‘sledged’ down to the waiting air ambulance for the flight to hospital."
