Mountain rescuers were deployed after a 58-year-old woman slipped and fell heavily on her wrist while walking in the Lake District.
She was descending Catbells on November 16 when it happened, and was unable to move without 'excruciating pain', a spokesperson from Keswick Mountain Rescue Team said.
They said they were called out at 12.40pm that day after a passer by called 999, asking for mountain rescue help.
They explained: "Another passer by from Northumberland Mountain Rescue Team helped out with a group shelter and heat blanket, many thanks to him.
"The team approached via the Hause Gate path, assessed the casualty, gave pain relief and splinted up the likely broken wrist.

"Suitably numbed with analgesia and with her arm immobilised the woman was able to walk down with help from a team member."
The callout involved 13 mountain rescue team members and took two hours and 25 minutes.
