Voted 10/10 | 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 ? | | Posted Jun 10, 2007 2:52 am |

Hasn't voted | When it comes to alpine climbing, crevasses are pretty high on the danger list but avalanches kill more climbers annually. From my experience, I would say that fast changing weather poses a much greater risk than crevasse falls such as this one. | | Posted Jun 12, 2007 8:32 pm |

Hasn't voted | Would you like me to change the name to Crevasse Fall Simulation? | | Posted Nov 9, 2007 2:31 pm |
| | Diego Sahagún | Re: Sorry... | |
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 | | Posted Nov 9, 2007 6:58 pm |

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? | | Posted Dec 2, 2007 8:11 am |
| | Diego Sahagún | Re: Sorry... | |
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? | | Posted Dec 2, 2007 6:56 pm |
| | 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. | | Posted Dec 2, 2007 7:18 pm |
| | Diego Sahagún | Re: Sorry... | |
Hasn't voted | Anyway, I don't see a fall in the pic. You were not falling when the pic was taken | | Posted Dec 2, 2007 8:20 pm |

Voted 10/10 | How some people have left silly comments on this photo.... also funny how most people easily ignore the details. Great photo though! | | Posted Apr 8, 2008 1:42 am |

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. | | Posted Apr 8, 2008 10:50 am |
