Hundreds of rescue workers are waiting for the rescue to begin. But the dimensions and challenges of the cave make the undertaking seem hopeless. The unprecedented action turns out to be an incredible thriller between powerlessness and helpfulness, expertise and activism, media and politics. It takes diplomatic skill and a skilful move on the part of mountain rescuer Helene Rechlin to clear the blockade and start the rescue of the injured person. A masterpiece of climbing technique, logistics, daring and coordination and one of "Europe's finest moments". Written by
