Dr. John All was taking snow samples on his own on Mount Himlung—in Nepal’s Himalayas—when the glacier broke under his feet. He fell into a 70-foot crevasse and suffered multiple injuries, but he managed to escape using an ice pick, filming himself during an agonizing adventure that lasted six hours.
So like… Uhh… Yeah… Oh my… this is just the van ride up to the Himalayas. As in, this scariness is only the beginning of something even scarier (that would be climbing the damn thing). Mick Fowler shot this video of his van driving up the mountain and it’s so close to the edge of the cliff—we’re talking inches here—that it makes me want to cry just watching the video.
