[Ian Ball]

Is widening the cave the last resort?

 

[Alex]

Prob was a bit of hypo involved so yes was my guess whatever was the quickest method of extraction, if I recall it's a very wet cave!

 

[Lankyman]

Is widening the cave the last resort?

It's probably more humane than narrowing the caver?

 

[Ian Ball]

So not the last resort

 

[paul]

Is widening the cave the last resort?

Yes - besides the conservation issue, it isn't quick to do it anyway.

 

[Tritim230]

Yes - besides the conservation issue, it isn't quick to do it anyway.

Certainly not with people still in the cave, which rules out certain methods

 

[Pete K]

No caves were harmed in the making of this rescue.
