00:00Good work. You were good.

00:03Nice work, guys.

00:05We're done with the first half.

00:07Let's take a few big ones.

00:13Good, Peter.

00:14Nice to meet you.

00:16Probably towards the more halfway mark, I was like,

00:20I'm not getting out, I haven't said goodbye to anyone,

00:23I haven't said I love you to my family.

00:25But then through, I don't know what I was thinking,

00:28I just somehow knew that I would be OK from the team,

00:31so I think that was really good that I didn't overreact and stuff.

00:35I did wriggle around and at the end I was like, just get me out.

00:39But besides that point, I had all faith in the services

00:43that had come to rescue me.

00:46The only way to get her out was to remove the rocks initially

00:49so that we could actually access,

00:51because we had no physical contact with them.

00:53The space initially, when we were able to get down closer to her

00:56and initially start to touch her feet,

00:58wasn't much wider than the width of my chest,

01:01and so I didn't have room to turn.

01:04As Matilda was mentioning today,

01:06she didn't have room to move herself at all.

01:08She was stuck in one position, and once I was down there,

01:10that was sort of where I was at as well.

01:12And so then trying to access her feet

01:15and work out a way to bring her back out

01:18was the technical side of things.
