:40:03
The overriding memory is just feeling
desperately, desperately thirsty.
:40:07
To the point where I felt I could
smell the water in the snow around me.
:40:12
I felt that very strongly.
:40:15
It was quite a strange thing.
:41:09
I didn't know what had happened.
:41:10
What I landed on wasn't flat,
it was sloped on each side.
:41:13
And I was sliding, in the dark.
:41:22
I think I must have
fallen about 50m in total.
:41:25
I was pretty surprised to be alive.
:41:43
The head torch beam just
went down, and down, and down,
:41:46
and the darkness just ate it, just gone.
:41:50
I felt very unnerved,
very very vulnerable.
:41:54
If I had landed less than
1m further to the right,
:41:58
I would have just gone
down this huge hole.
