Penrith MRT training

Sunday 09/07/06

Spent a moist day after Wasdale training with Penrith mountain rescue team at Cathedral quarry, Little Langdale.
We started with some horizontal stretcher lowering

Then picking up a cragfast climber using the "pitador" harness, at least I think that's what it is called.
It's the red thing around Chris' shoulders which is fastened around the casualty like a nappy.

We then did a vertical stretcher lower down the main face of the quarry. Guess who was the casualty?
