In this handout photo supplied by the Mountain Club of SA Search and Rescue and taken Sunday Sept. 21, 2014 a helicopter is loaded with a stretcher carrying Tsenolo Shadrack Rasello from The Kloof, a tourist destination near Johannesburg in Rustenburg South Africa. South African rescue workers recently performed surgery on the side of a cliff, amputating the leg of Rasello, whose foot was jammed between rocks in a drama reminiscent of the ordeal of Aron Ralston, the American climber who cut off his own arm to escape from a remote Utah canyon. Rasello used his cellular telephone, setting off a tense and complex rescue operation that included several helicopters and more than 100 people.
