It's great photo ! What was happened with this guy ? Fallen to the crevasse and can we see the rescue on this picture ?
I can see that a double rope on his harness. Is that the rope to the flaschenzug ?

	Hasn't voted	Yep, that title would be good. You are deceiving SPers by leaving "Crevasse Fall". If he would fall inside the crevasse he couldn't go out by his own. Probably he'd have died

	Voted 10/10	??? I've fallen into a crevasse about this size before and I'm not dead. Isn't that what rope's for and why you learn these skills?

	Hasn't voted	It's good that you are not dead after that fall. Sorry but I don't believe that the climber in the pic has fallen in such a crevasse. You were injured after the fall. Weren't you?

	BigLee	Re: Sorry...
	Voted 10/10	The description already says that. I only fell a few meters before the rope became taught although I would have obviously fallen a long way were I not roped. No injuries other than than to my pride. Bit better at identifying crevasses these days.

	Hasn't voted	Anyway, I don't see a fall in the pic. You were not falling when the pic was taken

	Hasn't voted	I said what I said. I have noticed that it's a simulation. Yesterday I was on the mountains blakemj33 and I will be there very soon

	Voted 10/10	I think it's a great photo, but I will agree with Diego on this one. The title makes me think something dramatic happened.

How some people have left silly comments on this photo.... also funny how most people easily ignore the details. Great photo though!

	Hasn't voted	Yeah, I don't engage dramatic debates beyond the point of reason but I thought it was nice that some people stood up for me with their comments.
