A man from Kendal allowed his dog, Zeus, to fall in to the top of Kilnshaw Chimney. It couldn't get back out because the ice build-up. He then went into the gully and couldn't get back out either.

We arrived and extracted Zeus and his owner, the other man having the wherewithal to sort himself out.
