Vertical rescue training
Another viatl aspect of the crew’s preparation is vertical rescue training, used in cases of emergency on a cliff face, down a mine shaft or down a cave.

He said the training took place at the site of a recent dog rescue, with the crew trialling a different lowering technique.
