Predicting climate-change induced heat-related illness risk in Grand Canyon National Park visitors
Two rescuers with a litter begin a 450 ft. descent into the Grand Canyon. They are lowered into the canyon using technical ropes systems, and brought back up using the same rope system by adding a series of stationary and moving pulley to create mechanical advantage.
