# Moving a stretcher by Tyrolean

Rebecca Lawson in the Austrian CRO stretcher being tyroleaned across loose boulders in the upper part of Kaninchenhöhle on her rescue in 1989. Quality photography was not a major aim of the trip at this point, but this picture does illustrate the technique. Note two points of attachment to the traverse rope to keep the stretcher near level.
