Buxton-based rescuers were called to help the casualty to safety due to the “challenging” conditions.
Edale MRT said the walking party had been “well prepared” and insulated the casualty as well as giving him pain medication while waiting for help.
“Yet again, a multi-agency job rescuing a walker in challenging conditions,” an MRT spokesperson said.
“It is worth noting, rescuers access to this incident was slowed down by cars parked and abandoned in various locations.
“Please be mindful when enjoying these beautiful snowy conditions that the emergency services may need to get past where you have left your car.”
