Okay, time is of the essence now, so you've got to get that and yourself safely down to me. I'm at the base of the cliff, so use those improvised talents. Remember that Italian hitch, lower it down, and then lower yourself.

Okay, copy that. It's a big army-looking duffel type bag. I think, uh, like a kit bag of some sort. It's heavy. It's heavy. Spread them out wide, sync them in. Yeah, it's pretty loose ground. This makes me nervous, like these talents can hopefully dig in a bit deeper, give me a better chance of holding my body weight.

Finish! Okay, this is annoying me. What am I doing wrong here? You know it's hard remembering that Italian hitch when you're tired, cold, and hungry. Come on, Benedict, you can do this. There we go, looks good, I think.

Hey, whoa, two, three! There we go, here comes the bag. Inside the bag is one of the ways we're going to get out of here. I've got a few little surprises for him yet. There you go, perfect. Yeah, yeah, keep it coming, keep it coming, almost there. Package received, good job!

Okay, so secure that line. Tie that same Italian hitch into yourself, and then lower yourself. Copy that, we'll do. So this goes in the middle? Yeah, okay, maybe that's good. There we go, feet wide. Soft, slow as you go. Don't put your hand too far up; in the back of your mind, there are just these pieces of metal in quite loose sod, really.

It's very easy to push into, which makes you suspect you might be very easy to push out of them. Okay, okay, Benedict's on his way. Hope you figured out that Italian hitch. Slippery, cold, it's also a lot of fun.

Foreign, look at that! [Music] Thank you.
