Cliff climber is rescued
8:36am Thursday 22nd May 2008 in
A MAN climbing without ropes and equipment was airlifted to safety after becoming stuck 150ft up a cliff.
The 26-year-old was climbing in just shorts and a T-shirt when he became stranded on the cliff-face at Durdle Door.
The climber, from Wimborne, was handed over to a coastguard team. He was not injured.
Coastguards are strongly advising people not to do any 'free' climbing.
