To the ceiling, was probably about 50m.
:59:02
I think it's as big as the
St. Paul's dome in scale.

:59:09
I remember looking down, and
there was just solid snow.

:59:13
And I thought, "this is
the bottom of the crevice!"

:59:22
About 15m away from me,
there was a slope leading up.

:59:27
Right at the top, there was the
sun coming through this hole.

:59:33
And it was shining, just this
big beam of sunlight coming in.

:59:40
This was the way out
I'd been looking for!

:59:46
I remember thinking, "Whoo, I can climb that
slope, I bloody well will climb that slope!"

:59:52
I crawled across this flat floor, and
I started crawling across on my stomach.

Then I heard things
breaking away underneath me.

1:00:13
I realized that this wasn't a solid floor,
it seemed to be hollow underneath it.

1:00:21
I was absolutely horrified.
1:00:26
It was suddenly, as if
I was on an egg shell.

1:00:32
If I break through, I'll never be
able to get across to this slope,

1:00:36
and that was my way out.
1:00:55
Alright, I'm on it, this is solid now.
