Description:
WARNING: PROFANITY AND GRAPHIC IMAGESThis accident occurred on Nov 6th 2011 in South East Wyoming on a first ascent of a previously unclimbed route (it's been climbed in the summer - never as an ice climb as far as we know). I am posting the video as a reminder of how challenging self-rescue is when things go wrong on an alpine climb. Our climb was only two miles from the road, but a broken ankle made it feel much farther. I hope this video helps other climbers make wise choices about how they manage risk.Oh...and, yes, that is a reference to Touching the Void.Enjoy,Ed

Mar 28, 2012 - If you cut the rope, we could have had a "Touching the Void" 2. More manly for him to craw down the mountain by himself.
