The fear of sliding down for miles into the stygian abyss that that gets tighter and tighter until you get lodged and each time you exhale you slide down a few inches more until you suffocate is some lovecraftian level horror that keeps me from mountaineering. Youll pray for an earthquake that closes the crack and pops you like a grape.
>sliding down for miles
I mean, more likely is you'd side down anywhere from 10-100 meters, and the fall could well kill you. The idea of suffocating being crushed by the ice sounds silly. A much more horrible thing would be to fall in, slide down all the way, crash on hard ice/rock in massive torrent of icy water flowing under the glacier, drown in it as you struggle with your crampons which, in the meantime, have got mangled in your clothes and lower limbs, and twisted your knees around horribly.
Also, vid related, from the edge of a very small glacier ~3000m altitude (Wildhorn).
We have those were I live, I took this webm. Also it's easy to lose track of where you are. You go up and down ice then when you get stuck and need to turn around there are no tracks of how you got there. And I'm just wearing boots.

i dont think you know what "lovecraftian level horror" means.
>he doesn't know
You did a good job of this. Especially since I was already holding my breath when you started talking about how exhaling only makes it worse.

I can imagine.
No
Yeah
Why would he intentionally wiggle further down into the crevasse?
Checked
Swiss mountain with french text tells me he's trying to surrender to the mountain in hopes of finding gold.
Felt bad when he came out and only had one ski
Pretty easy to jump over.

>fall down crevasse
>climb right back up with ice axes and crampons because its ice
is this just morons with no gear getting filtered?
I fell into your moms ice hole last night gay
