Using ropes, the men inched their way down the headlong drop, bi lancing the stretcher as it was lowered nearly 2,000 feet by steel cable. Progress was seriously hampered by constantly falling rocks and the difficulty of finding adequate belay and lowering points. The rescue team spent the night of August 23, lashed to the precipice, weary, out of food, whipped by freezing winds and endangered by falling rocks. On August 24, the fatigued group faced further serious hazards in the final stages of the rescue when extended free rappels had to be executed to reach the base of the wall.
