Video: Fellow Ice Climbers Save Climber From Deadly Fall

I'm all for being adventuresome. I love pushing things to the edge just to see if I can make it. But after viewing this video of an ice climber coming seconds away from his death I might reconsider my life choices.

Watch as this ice climber attempting to climb Kennedy's Gully in the San Juan Mountains in Colorado. After slipping once fellow climbers offer a support rope as the climber attempts to make his way over a thin patch of ice. Only seconds after the support rope is attached the ice breaks free and the climber finds himself hanging thousands of feet above the ground.

Skip to minute 1:47 for the good stuff.

Hopefully this guy has learned his lesson to use more than a couple of pick axes to climb an icy cliff.
