Worked overtop those hillsides quite a bit. Gorgeous landscape. There was a 10 freighter landed halfway down, saw it wouldn’t work, tried to go then changed their mind. Went sailing off into a cow pasture. All survived. A big top at Medellin rejected late on a wet surface ran down into the north valley, everyone but egos ok I think. Fresh cut flowers. Never really thought about the ax. Like the raft signal mirror and patch kit, lucky if you get the chance to use them?
