A man was stranded at the bottom of a 110m Yorkshire Dales cave after another party mistakenly removed his ropes.

The caver, from Skipton, North Yorkshire, was reported overdue after a trip down the Gaping Gill system on the slopes of Ingleborough. Fourteen members of Clapham-based Cave Rescue Organisation (CRO) went to his aid and a team of four found him waiting for help.

Thanks for the link. It was a great write up of his stranding and the emotions and mind tricks that occur in such a situation. Happily all went very well for him and he was easily "rescued".
