About

Over four years ago, I read “Touching the Void” and I was always intrigued by situation hikers find themselves in and the incredible things they do to stay alive.

This blog is about learning from other people’s mistakes, so you don’t make the same ones.

“Better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the grey twilight that knows not victory nor defeat”

Man Dies in Crevasse

Photobucket
Who: A 68-year-old man
Where: Otscher, Lower Austria
His mistake: He lost his balance
What happened: A man climbing in the Otscher area with his 35-year-old son lost his footing and fell into a crevasse. He fell 250 meters into the crevasse. It is unclear if rescuers were able to recover the body, but I doubt it. Unfortunately there are no other details.
