Just finished watching this movie, in particular the Alaska section. Over and over again. These guys are out of control:eek:

What are those massive gaps they have to jump on the way down called? They huge are these huge cracks that run across the entire face of the mountain. Also, how are they formed?

Hahaha, I'm just saying you don't have to be doing 35. Under 20 will get you over most of the ones found in the lower 48, but every situation is different for sure. The bigger the gap the faster you probably want to go. Falling into one is certainly not something I would want to experience. Le suck...

Its like a cliff drop, but the consequences are much higher.....well usually and it depends on the height of the........ahhhhhhh nevermind, you get the idea.

For gods sake be carefull out there (more bad movie quotes)

Yes both Deeper and Further are great films! Jeremy is such a cool and understated guy, who really knows his shit.

This spring, on one of my summiting trips on Mt. Hood, I jumped this crevasse on the White River Glacier. It was about half this width at the time and the landing is about 3-4 feet lower than the takeoff. A person would have to be going retardedly slow to miss the landing. This crevasse opens up clear to ground in mid summer and is about 100 feet deep. I climbed down through it and came out in the bottom of White River canyon. I love climbing in these things in that eerie blue light!



This summer, I want explore the seracks on the Elliot Glacier over on the Cooper Spur side of Hood. Shredlife, I also want to utilize your expert photography skills and equipment. When this beastie is just the right width, I want a shot of the base of the Neversummer board I will be testing from you down in there a bit!

the cool guys all just say shcrund.. I'm not cool though. I usually just refer to everything as a slot, or crack... creveases, moats, glide cracks, and bergshrunds. don't slide into the slot.

would have to look at a summer satelite view, but I am pretty sure Killclimbz crossed a schrund on shuksan the first time he visited... definatly over a few slots. ;)
