Baz,
Glad you eventually got out of there without too much drama. It reminds me of a situation I found myself in a few years ago in the Brindabella's near Canberra with 2 other vehicles. @ of us had
winches and were able to winch ourselves to the top. Once there we got the 3rd bloke to drive up as far as he could which wasn't far enough to be reached by one winch cable. So the 2 of us with
winches had to turn around, I lowered the other winch-equipped Patrol down as far as I could (attached to his rear recovery point. He then had to winch the 3rd bloke up to the front of his truck, chocked the wheels and I had to winch the middle truck back to the top and he then winched number 3 all the way to the top.....took a couple of hours and there was snow on the ground and daylight was just about exhausted,,,,, we were glad to get out of there and thank cripes for
winches!!! LOL
