Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team was called out on December 24 after a man went missing on Scafell Pike's Corridor Route.
The man had become separated from his father as they were walking back from the summit of Scafell Pike.
On arrival at Wasdale Head the father reported his son missing to Cumbria police who alerted the rescue team.
In a statement Wasdale MRT said: "One team member was tasked to go and speak to the father and try to gain more information whilst the team were put on stand by.
"Fortunately, the son turned up at their car, the team leader was notified and the rest of the team were stood down."
