It seems to me that some things about the attempted rescue and
abandoned recovery at Nutty Putty have not appeared in the press
reports. Presumably the victim was solidly attached by slings of some
sort to a rope, as they report he was lifted from the entrapping
crevice but then fell back when an anchor failed, after which he died.
Seems like replacing the anchor with a better one or several would
have allowed the body to be extracted without too much more trouble.
It is possible that there are additional serious obstacles between the
victim and the entrance, though.
