"It was very intense not being able to do anything with my body and realising I am truly, truly stuck." "It was an operation we were never going to be able to rush, but the fact she was talking to us and not in a lot of pain, that told us that we had the time to do this really safely."Crews had to remove seven boulders weighing between 80 to 500 kilograms to gain access to the 23-year-old.
"It was essentially one rock at a time above her to create a void for our rescuers to hopefully get access to her," he said.Mr Sattler said Ms Campbell was lucky she was with a friend when she fell.
