Behind the trail name Mayday Mayday…

This is a simple climbing trail, however there were two incidents while it was being built. The first was when an excavator tipped over and the second, a hydraulic line burst and the excavator started spinning around out of control. The machine operator was on the radio calling out “Mayday! Mayday!”
