"This mountain range in particular is very, very loose rock. It's all shale, which means every foot you put down, it doesn't stay there. It will go about two feet below you," said Kevin Dite, a commando with a British Royal Marine unit that trained alongside U.S. Marines.

During a recent training exercise, troops from the First Battalion Sixth Marine Regiment and British Marines demonstrated an assault up a 300-foot cliff.
