Mayo Mountain Rescue were on hand to assist a walker who got into difficulty during Storm Ashley on Sunday.
Yesterday, their Facebook page posted: "Full team callout today, at 10:00, from AGS to assist a walker on the top of Croagh Patrick, who was having difficulty descending in 100Km plus winds.
"First responders made their way in very difficult conditions to the summit from the south side of the mountain while others were deployed to the Murrisk side to walk the track. The walker was eventually located in the Murrisk car park at 11:45 having been walked down with help from other walkers.
"The team was stood down at 12:30."
Mayo Mountain Rescue added: "All was well that ended well today and we wish this man a speedy recovery from his ordeal, however, we would advise walkers to stay off the mountains during severe weather alerts from our excellent Met Service."
