<p>Rebecca Lawson in the Austrian CRO stretcher being tyroleaned across loose
boulders in the upper part of Kaninchenh&ouml;hle on her rescue in 1989.
Quality photography was <b>not</b> 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.</p>
