Long story short, my dad was with me in the shed and spotted a masher shed below is on a rock ledge.  He crawled down to get it and the shale edge gave way and down he went.  Broken ankle, 3 miles DOWN from the truck.  Couldn’t get a chopper anywhere close or we would’ve.

Moral to the story: keep your eye on the prize, plenty of time to pick up sheds in the Spring.   :chuckle:

Oh you could get a chopper right there! Sounds like someone didn’t wanna do their job. Can’t land but can repel. Been there done that

I don’t recall saying exactly where we were?  It wasn’t my call and no, they didn’t want to repel.  The route we got him out was best suited for not only the situation but weather; one of those nasty days only the shed can produce it seamed.  It was
a circus, a day I won’t soon forget

Ha yeah I know you didn’t say your exact location obviously. Just saying I’ve been in a similar situation over there in the worst possible spot you could imagine. Shed is a fun one. Hiked the unit many a time
