Two rock climbers had to be rescued from a cliff after their rope came loose. The climbers were abseiling down the rock face at St Agnes Head when their rope buckled and dropped to the bottom.
One of the climbers suffered a deep cut to their leg, and both found themselves stranded. HM Coastguard in Falmouth said they received a distress call from the two climbers who said they were unable to move due to the sharp dramatic cliff face and a large swell beneath them.
Both St Agnes cliff rescue team (CRT) and the RNLI lifeboat were called out to the scene. A spokesman for the RNLI said: "Due to the position of the casualties, a member of the CRT abseiled down to the climbers and assisted them with the inshore lifeboat.
