What recovery gear do you have, and why?

On Baboon's pass, the most useful pieces of recovery gear were a hydraulic bottle jack, a 1.2m gwala and spade.

In most cases I have seen that those items work best..

Especially in rocky territory

I would include some local rocks to that list..

What shape gwala would work the best?

Mine is a straight one. It has a point on one end and is chisel shaped on the other end. It seemed to be pretty versatile for digging holes and moving big rocks.

The Gwala was used as a Pik to loosen ground at one spot and spade for moving gravel to bury a huge Rock in the middle of the trail
And the Gwala to force the big Rock in the hole

Fhe local rocks were used in abundance.
