Paramedics and mountain safety rescue services worked together to recover the young man.
He was later flown to the nearby Stoke trauma unit for assessment.
The Sun understands that the man remains in Stoke Hospital awaiting surgery on a shoulder injury.
His mother left a comment on the Derby Mountain Rescue Team (DMRT)’s Facebook page, thanking the volunteers.

“Thank you to everyone who helped him. We have been overwhelmed with such kind messages,” she wrote.
The fall came just moments before the Derby Mountain Rescue Team (DMRT) were alerted to reports of a missing walker in the same area.
A statement from the DMRT read: “While the team was responding to a trauma incident at Dovedale, concerns were raised regarding a potential missing person“.
“A member of the public reported that her sister had not returned after being last seen earlier on Thorpe Cloud as part of a coach trip. Following completion of the initial incident, the team was re-tasked to make inquiries and check the surrounding area.”
The distraught woman had begged for assistance after her sister went missing while on a coach trip in the Peak District.
She was found safe a short time later after emergency services made successful contact, and was reunited with her sister.
It comes after a group of Royal Marines saved a dying climber after finding him “curled up in the snow” during a blizzard.
The commandos had summited Britain’s highest mountain in Gale Force 8 winds with 1 metre visibility when they spotted the lone civilian lost and exhausted in the white out.
The unnamed civilian had “abandoned his descent” from the 4,413ft summit and “certainly would not have survived” if he hadn’t been discovered.
Colour Sergeant McKenzie, an expert mountaineer, said: “Solid blocks of ice clung to his eyebrows, hat, and gloves – evidence of long exposure to freezing conditions.”
Marines said the climber was “exhausted and confused” and did not have a compass or map. His hiking poles were broken and he did not have any crampons for walking over ice.
The joint team of British and Dutch marines gave the man hot drinks and food then tried to support him down the ice-covered mountain – but he soon became too frail to walk.

Dutch Marine Sergeant Onno Lankhaar says the man was “very lucky”.
He added: “If we hadn’t seen him, he wouldn’t have made it.”
