Skier falls down deep glacier cliff and only narrowly avoids falling into the abyss

Показать описание
A skier from the Les Powtos sports team fell down a deep glacier cliff in La Grave, France in April 2022.

You see him barely wedge his skis into the cliff face moments from falling into the deep crevice.

The off-piste skiing group were on hand with ice screws, axes and rope to pull him out to safety. They said 'it was the longest 20 minutes of our lives'.

Adding, they waited a year before posting the video out of respect for the fact they nearly lost a member of their crew that day.

Time for the rescue team to go down to the bottom of the hole and find out who else may have been trapped there for many years but never found till today.

Almost went the same way as Ken Block and by that, I mean an accident in the snow before any clown wants to pipe up.

Imagine all the Neanderthals and ancient humans perfectly preserved down there just waiting for global warming! Or even crazier would be if one survived the fall and started melting tunnels down there, connecting other crevasses so they could collect meat 🍖 to eat! The guy fell into is freezer!
