Police have released a description of three men they want to speak after a climber was injured by a falling rock in the Peak District over the Bank Holiday weekend.
The climber - a man in his 30s - was beginning an ascent on Bamford Edge in Hope Valley on Saturday (30 April) when he was hit by a boulder which had fallen from the top of the rock face.
