:53:04
I started to go down
the glacier on my own.
:53:07
In this stage I was still certain
that I was gonna die myself.
:53:12
Crossing a glacier is very
very dangerous on your own,
:53:15
because there are crevices in
the ice, and the snow covers them.
:53:21
Fortunately I managed to find
a faint outline of our tracks,
:53:24
from when we walked in.
:53:27
It was only when I got off the glacier,
I realized that I was going to get down,
:53:33
I was going to get out of it,
:53:35
I was gonna live.
:53:50
I can't really describe how
scary the night had been.
:53:59
I thought, it would
be like that, for days.
:54:05
You gotta make decisions, you
gotta keep making decisions,
:54:08
even if they're wrong decisions.
:54:13
If you don't make
decisions you're stuffed.
:54:33
Short of dying on the
ledge, my only chance was to
:54:38
lower myself deeper into the crevice.
:54:42
I didn't what I would find down there.
:54:45
I was just hoping there might be some
way out of the labyrinth of ice and snow.
:54:55
And I really struggled to make that
decision, I was so scared of going deeper.
