While rappelling a mountain wall, Mr Huserka’s rope snapped and he fell into an ice crevasse, his partner said in an emotional Facebook update posted after he returned alone. Not a mountaineer but I've watched some episodes of "I shouldn't be Alive" years back so that makes me an expert. I thought that climbers never relied on just one rope.

Reminds me of me years ago when I climbed the Eiger in Switzerland. Except I made it out and never climbed a suicide mountain again.

Who knows... He may be found in another 10 thousand years after this glacier melts... Or next year if you go by Al Gore’s reckoning. Did he not claim that the Himalia glaciers would be already melted by now?

We lost a woman at IBM Research, Vera Watson, on Annapurna in 1978, along with her roped partner. It was still a trauma for people when I started there in 1984.

Body to be discovered in 10,000 years? Or maybe 100,000 years?

very sad. I’ve read that most deaths occur on the descent.

My nephew is brave and had climbed El Capitan “freeclimb”..no ropes, pitons, etc...
When he told my uncle he wasn’t afraid of falling and dying, my uncle asked him if he was sure he would die if he fell....nephew is married now and has some kids...don’t think he’s climbing anymore...good climbing to all so disposed....best wishes....
