A spokesperson from LAMRT said: "Their shoulder popped back but left them in a lot of pain. They were lowered using a rope system to the base of the Rake, from where they were assisted in walking the rest of the way down."

This was one of several calls during a busy weekend for the mountain rescue team, which also involved helping a woman with a fractured wrist and hikers who had become cragfast.
