Goat Scar, Longsleddale: KMRT 20090531, Cumbria, NY47680709 -- ... the Main lower laid out ready.
Rope, carabiners, slings, and other gadgets are a constant in the whole rescue procedure, as is safety of team members moving about a very tricky site where grass is slippery and loose rocks easily sent off down hill. In the exercise rocks did escape, threatening climbers below who were warned by a shout - the rock caught or deflected if possible.
