Woman reaching for phone gets stuck upside down in boulders

Flora Drury-BBC News

A young woman spent hours trapped upside down after slipping between two boulders as she tried to retrieve her mobile phone during a hike in Australia.

The woman – named in reports as Matilda Campbell – was walking in New South Wales’ Hunter Valley region earlier this month when she fell into the three-metre crevice.

It was the start of a seven-hour ordeal that would see emergency services undertake a “challenging” rescue, including moving several boulders.

And even after winning a 500kg (1,100lb) rock out the way, they still had to work out how to get the woman out of the “S” bend she had found herself in. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgeyezggpezo
