Comments (3)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.

Some people will do anything to get on telly.
Is this a way to get on seaside rescue?
Will he be on a chat show soon and achieve celebrity status?
I agree with Dorset boy, send him the bill
