:42:04
I got this ice screw in, pretty quickly.
:42:15
And then looked around, and thinking,
:42:18
"Jezus, it's gonna be nearly
impossible to get out of"
:42:31
My rope was going all the way up,
25m, up to this small entry hall.
:42:35
And I thought, Simon
is on the end of that.
:42:41
But I felt sure he was dead.
And it didn't mean anything.
:42:45
I just thought, "If I pull on this
rope, it will come tight on his body".
:42:48
Because he would have flown off the
cliff, on to the downside of the crevice,
:42:53
and then, Iying dead
there, like a counterweight,
:42:55
the rope would have come back up
and then dropped into the crevice.
:42:59
So I thought, if I pull on this
rope it will come tight on his body".
:43:18
And it just kept coming,
and coming, and coming,
:43:36
As soon as I saw it,
I knew it had been cut.
:43:48
I thought, "you're gonna die in here".
:43:53
I had a pleased feeling, that
it meant that Simon was alive.
