The team also made a request for Yorkshire Air Ambulance to attend through the police.
Two medical professionals who were walking on Whernside had already begun CPR and they also had a defibrillator with them.
Sadly despite their best efforts and those of the helimed crew the casualty could not be resuscitated.
The team then worked with the helimed crew to evacuate the casualty to the road for transfer to the police and ambulance crew.
The team’s thoughts are with the deceased’s family and friends.
