A handy 2m Moxon which can be carted up hillsides with no problem. I've descended a friable hillside on my rear as well (not by choice) and used the pole to stop causing little damage to the antenna.
Some weeks later I had a QSO with an operator on the same hilltop, he managed to climb one side involving a small rock-face and I warned him about the alternative way down in the dark. Unfortunately he broke his ankle, it could well have been my fate. There would have been no-one about until the next day, if that!
