Okay, copy. I copy. I'll send it to you.
00:32
She's probably ambulatory.
00:34
It's pretty loose slope.
00:35
We could do a one-on-one down it, but she doesn't have any shoes.
00:39
The other option is she's very stable, she's comfortable now with the blanket.
00:42
We can do a pretty simple aerial ropeway down to the road to you and just put her in there in like a sloping high line.
00:50
Yeah, I was thinking the same.
00:52
Either way. Okay, let me get a better assessment here.
00:55
And if we could have a couple ropes start working our way, patient harness helmet,
01:00
and we'll start coming up with a plan.
01:01
You should have a patient pack up there, and there are ropes on their way.

01:36
13, go ahead.
01:38
Sorry, Captain, 13.
01:39
I think we're leaning towards an aerial ropeway here, probably smoking high line, down to the road.
01:44
Pretty loose terrain.
01:45
She doesn't have any shoes.
01:47
Not super comfortable taking it down it.
01:48
It's kind of loose getting up there.
01:50
Copy that, I got the ropes coming up on Battalion 1.
01:52
Okay, and then I'm just going to need someone to establish bottom-side lead, and I can take rescue group in top-side lead,
01:58
and I think we're going to need the litter, full-body vacuum splun up here as well.
02:03
Coffee break, command, did you copy all that?
02:05
We're heading up the road now.
02:06

02:10
Copy that.
02:11
And for better fine.
02:12

02:13
Receive, thanks.
02:14
Good one, correct to your right a little bit.
02:16
How does that tree look?
02:17
It's pretty good.
02:18
It's probably...
02:19
I'll stand by.
02:20
It's probably eight inches around.
02:21
It's not the biggest one, but we'll probably do it.
02:23
Okay, unless you see anything higher on the rock, we just need some height on that side to get back up from the little canyon.
02:30
Yeah, copy. My only other option that was thinking about was bringing some of these together.
02:33
I'm up high, but I can do that.
02:35

02:53
Two group from TAS 13, what all rope systems are you going to need out that way, rope bags?
02:58
We're going to need one line, probably the 300 will get it done.
03:02
Stretched with the bag down there, the end brought to us.
03:06
And then we'll need one more rope for the top side tagline.
03:11
The one rope up, one tail run up to you.
03:15
And, Justin, are we still looking at that one tree that you described about eight inches rounds?
03:18
That's primitive.
03:19
13 from Rescue Group, if you could send me Ian or leave Ian down there for the tensioning system in the High Line, send me Travis or Vogel up here to operate my top side tag.
