# Kaninchenhöhle: Becka's rescue

Hauling Becka Lawson up the entrance pitch of Kaninchenhöhle after her fall from the pitch below the squeeze in 1989. Our long-time Austrian contact, Karl Gaisberger, is working a hand winch (a useful gadget if you can't summon up CRO's huge crowds of manpower for hauling !), whilst others lifeline the stretcher and its "pilot".
