DCRO Exercise at Giants Hole

Today there was a DCRO exercise at Giants Hole with me acting as Controller and Karen keeping the communications log.
The scenario was that there was a caver with a lower back injury on the near side of the Giants Windpipe.
We had Steve Knox and Pete Dell on the hill above the cave positioned approximately above the Giants Windpipe and Garlands Pot.
Clare and Dave Harley were to lead a team to package the casualty in a Slix stretcher and take it in turns to be the casualty themselves. The plan was to move along the traverse above the Crab Walk and through the calcite eyehole as far as possible with the exercise ending at 14:30. Dave Ottewell had just taken up a position as Leader was tasked with rigging a rope along the traverse.
