Two men have been rescued from a 60m (197 ft) deep cave in the Peak District.
Volunteers working for Derbyshire Cave Rescue Organisation said they were called at 21:40 BST on Saturday to assist a group of four who had descended Eldon Hole, near Chapel-en-le-Frith, earlier in the day.
The rescue organisation said two adventurers had managed to climb out, but the other two men were unable to escape without assistance.
Volunteers from the team attended, with two cavers going underground while the others set up for a haul.
The rescue team said the two trapped men were hauled smoothly up to the surface and everyone was out of the cave by 03:00 BST on Sunday.
