Climber says he's 'lucky' after being hit by boulder thrown from clifftop in Peak District
Tommy Teale has been climbing for about 13 years but has never known rocks to be thrown at climbers
He and two friends - Keir Wass and Chris Chambers - were about to attempt a route known as Brown's Crack on Great Tor, Bamford Edge. "I'm kind of glad it hit me and nobody else. My friends hadn't put their helmets on yet so who knows what would have happened if if had hit them or if it had been a child playing.Image caption,Within minutes of his injury, volunteers from the Edale Mountain Rescue Team were with Mr Teale, along with several climbers who were nearby.
He was told there were no loose rocks near the cliff edge and that one would have had to be carried for several metres to get to where it was thrown.Edale Mountain Rescue Team posted a photo of the rock that was thrown on its Facebook page
