The Cargo Nets That Scale 'Hacksaw Ridge.'

Here is an excellent article about World War II Army Pfc. Desmond Doss. I thought I would share this article because it does talk about one of the last campaigns in the Pacific and how using cargo nets, Doss’ battalion climbed a treacherous, 400-foot-high jagged cliff, nicknamed Hacksaw Ridge, to get to a plateau. Climbing a net of that caliber is an incredible feat in itself.

A whole new world of danger sat atop that ridge.

A Gigantic Cargo Net

You'd climb it wouldn't you?

Here is a view of the giant cargo net in the original form along with the net from the film.
