>He was descending when someone above him dropped a cellphone or something. He tried to grab it and started sliding. He finally stopped the slide on some small toe hold. He couldn't move without sliding more; he was stuck. The quick thinking of the people there (which included his sister and some friends) and the heroic actions of James Williams saved his life.
>The hiker went off the trail to pick something up and slipped down the rock until he got caught there on his back in that crevice. (about an 8,000 ft drop below) My cousin took off running down the trail to find help while my cousin-in-law James Williams came up with this plan to use the cable as a rope by pulling each pole out and swinging it over. He could not swing the cable over by himself (these poles are very heavy and made of metal) so with the help of other hikers below, they were able to swing it over to the man so he could grab it and walk safely back.
