[QUOTE="Gibby1, post: 1168460, member: 15983"] [b]The recovery[/b] Now understand something here... Chris looks to be sitting in about a foot of water only... At least that's what we thought. Everyone got out safely. He extraction was not so easy however as he doesn't have a cage up high to hook up to and there were no anchor points nearby to get a good pull. It took us almost 3 hours to get him upright. We notched logs with a chainsaw - the first one just broke so we had to do it again. Pulled him out about a foot and flopped him right back in. We found solid purchase farther up the hill and had him about 75" out when one of our straps gave way, and threw him back in the drink again. I tried yanking him forward with my 12k winch, figuring that should pretty much pull him through anything, and it was... bu it killed 2 batteries before I was able to get him out. That sucker draws some CURRENT! So finally we got him righted, fired it right up and after dispersing the cloud of blue smoke he was good to go. By this time, it was getting later and we decided to take everyone back and try to run up Rainier Vista with the remaining crew. All we had to do was get me and another fulled locked yota back across the water hole... More on that later. [/QUOTE]
