What do you do when stuck in a mountain crevice with no one to call for help? Take off your bra, of course.
An American woman did just that and ended up being rescued from a German mountain.
The 24-year-old trekker from Colorado was hiking alone in the Bavarian Alps hiking alone near Berchtesgaden, close to the border with Austria, last Monday.
She lost her way when the weather turned bad and she fell 18 feet down a crevasse, injuring her shoulder, ankle and head.
She hooked the brightly coloured sports bra on a cable used for transporting logs to a valley below, hoping it would lead rescuers to her.
A logger who had heard about the search for a missing woman saw the bra and called mountain rescue.
So next time you head into the mountains, keep your wits -- and your sports bra -- about.
