Man falls through ice crevasse in Himalayas, films his frightening experience

(WARNING: Video contains strong language)

Video footage has surfaced of an American climber who fell through an ice crevasse on a Himalayan mountain in Nepal, and yes, it is as devastatingly scary as you might imagine.

Western Kentucky University professor John All and his team decided to set up camp at Mount Himlung in north central Nepal to conduct research. However, All decided to go out alone and traveled up the mountain.
According to The Huffington Post, All fell into a crevasse, sending him approximately 70 feet below the surface where he suffered a break in his right arm, a dislocated shoulder, a few broken ribs and internal bleeding. His face was covered in blood, also a result of injuries sustained during the fall.

Equipped with his GoPro camera, All began filming his unfortunate situation moments after the fall, unsure of whether or not he would make it out alive.

“I’m pretty well f***ed,” he says into the camera, the brutal honesty in his words make it clear that he is extremely worried.

With his teammates in lower camps miles away, All knew there was no hope of rescue so in order to survive, he had to get out.

“I thought I was going to die, there was no way out. I was alone,” said All.

He pans around the crevice with his camera and you can see a small patch of blue sky in the distance above him, making him determined to climb out.

He films his struggle as he must move at a snail's pace to try and climb out, and with a broken arm and ribs, it seems nearly impossible.

Throughout different video clips, he films his attempts to escape, and with his repetitive F-bombs, it is evident All may not make it out at all.

Where some would have given up, All presses on, broken bones and all. He finds it difficult to breathe and even wonders aloud if blood is beginning to fill his lungs.

Using his ice axe and amazing determination, it took All six hours, but he successfully made his way out of the crevasse.

Once he was out, All then had to crawl his way back to his camp because he did not have a radio to call for help. Exhausted, he barely made the trek to his tent, but when he finally did, he texted for help from his satellite messenger. His teammates responded and sent a helicopter to rescue him.

More unfortunately however, because the weather was so bad, the helicopter could not reach him that day so he was forced to spend the night alone in his tent frostbitten, shivering and bleeding for hours.

The next day the rescue helicopter arrived to rescue All, dragging all 6 feet and 5 inches of him on board on a sleeping pad, and rushed him to a hospital in Katmandu.

All is on the mend, with plans to stay in his Katmandu hotel room for a couple weeks to recover before he’s off to Peru for another climbing trip.

Wait-what!? I guess this guy literally lives on the edge! Perhaps he’d be wise to take his team with him this time…
