A woman in Australia became stuck upside down between a pair of boulders for seven hours after falling into a crevice while trying to retrieve her dropped phone. 

Photos released by New South Wales Ambulance show the woman’s feet sticking out between the rocks as first responders came to her rescue. 

“In my 10 years as a rescue paramedic I had never encountered a job quite like this, it was challenging but incredibly rewarding,” the agency quoted first responder Peter Watts as saying. 

NSW Ambulance said the woman got herself trapped in the Hunter Valley “after slipping into a 3-meter [9-foot] crevice, wedged between two boulders while trying to retrieve her phone.”

Officials were called to the scene after the woman’s friends dialed an emergency telephone number following several failed attempts to save her themselves. 

Crews that arrived managed to free the woman through a tight “S” bend over the span of an hour and moved an 1,100-pound boulder in the process, according to NSW Ambulance.
