The '''crawl''' inventory field is used to list stations which need to be noted as a potential issue for rescue. If the crawl is less than 12 inches or so, it may require additional consideration as feet and noses may scrape the ceiling in normal [[sked]] configuration. Any station which would present difficulty for a [[rescue litter]] or sked should be listed, not necessarily just true crawls. Narrow passages; quick turns; and squeezes of any kind should be listed. Pits and unroped climbs or chimneys have their own field.
