"The forecast for today, monkey's bum."
Literally every persons nightmare when they see a crevasse.
Polar Bears hardest hit
Was it Longfellow Deeds’ grandfather?
Burt and Mack climb Mount Everest
Burt and Mack are climbing Mount Everest when suddenly Burt falls in to a crevasse 1000 ft. deep.
“Hey Burt! Are you alive?” shouts Mack from above.
“Yeah I am.”
“I’m going to drop down a rope, grab onto it and I’ll pull you out.”
“I can’t. My arms are broken.”
“Okay then wrap your legs around them.”
“I can’t. My legs are broken too.”
“Alright, then bite down real hard on the rope. I’ll pull you up.”
So Burt bites on the rope and Mack starts pulling.
1000 feet… 900 feet… 700 feet…. 500 feet…. 300 feet…
“You alright Burt?”
“Yeahh….ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…”
The Polish team that found Bell’s remains also found over 200 personal items, including an inscribed watch, a Swedish knife, radio equipment and ski poles.
Traveled light, we see.
Couldn’t he have brought someone back with a long rope to go down and see if he was still alive, just unconscious?
That was some beard for 1959. Though maybe not in Antarctica…
Was he OK?
Hope they don't dig up any Norwegians.
