The scary part about accidentally falling into a big-ass crevasse like this isn't dying, it's when you somehow managed to survive it. Your crew won't know that you did survive and if they do know, no one knows how to get you. You'll be slowly dying in a cold dark place with your body mangled, alone and hopeless.

@ZombiesOhMyGod 3 года назад

If you pause the video and look, the area to the right is an overhang on the other side. It's all unsupported, possibly loose snow, not supported by any ice. If they put weight on it, it'd probably collapse down into the crevasse. So they opt for the more stable area with packed down snow and a sturdy wall, even if it's a larger gap. If you look closer, you can see a crack in the snow just to the right of the packed snow the ladder rests on. Definitely unstable.

I've read about it and honestly I don't know either, the people that do this travel on will alone. Every one of them is in pain also, from various ailments either picked up along the way or current ones made a lot worse with the thin air. It's literally just trying to breathe then take a couple steps and it takes hours to progress. By the time they make it down to the next camp they are completely useless and exhausted. They survive purely on luck. Insane.
