Ambulance staff worked with firefighters to treat a man who was found at the bottom of a cliff near Bridgnorth before he was lowered to safety using ropes.
Emergency services were called to High Rock, off Telford Road at 10.15pm lat night, Sunday.
An ambulance, a paramedic officer, the Hazardous Area Response Team (HART) and a senior paramedic officer were sent to the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “The man, who was in his 20s, was found at the bottom of a 25 metre cliff, thought it wasn’t clear how he had come to be there.
“The man was complaining of back and shoulder pain. He was immobilised, had his injuries splinted and was given pain relief. The HART team then clipped the stretcher onto a rope system put in place by Shropshire Fire; the man was then lowered down a steep embankment before being taken to New Cross Hospital for further assessment and treatment.
Ambulance staff also joined police and fire colleagues in a search of the area after reports that there could have been a second patient.
Nothing was found and ambulance staff were stood down at about 2.50am.
