Giulia Fusconi, 29, from Italy, has travelled the world scaling rocks and climbing mountains – but says that women don’t get much respect in the male-dominated sport of alpinism.
The man, identified as a 43-year-old from the Portland suburb of Happy Valley, reportedly lost his grip on his ice axe while climbing a ridge near the mountain’s 11,000 foot summit
The climber will be fined $1,500.
Pictures show the man being treated on the crumbling mountainside in the Thirlmere area of the Lake District, where he careered down a precipice.
