several or more yrs ago a skiier or winter hiker fell into a waterfall hole on tuckerman...that person was killed as he or she was swept deep under the melting snow pack and could not climb back up do to either an injury or hyperthermia or combination of both
That happened once back in the early '70's if I remember the timing right. He eventually swept out of the underground ( under snow) stream down near Hojos.
@@nemesis256The section on spatial reference and perspective only reinforces the idea no one should be anywhere near that hole unless it's a planned stunt with a high chance of success. This guy was the opposite of that.
A similar hazard is when water undermines the snow. Even off the head wall, there could be streams of water that are melting the snow towards the surface. I skied Tick’s many times; danger was always present. One needs to take precautions and respect nature. There’s no glory in skiing/boarding down headwalls where risks outnumber one’s chance of being a star on TikTok. That guy had no business taking that route.

That spits you out right at the bottom for an automatic hole in 1.
Why would _anyone_ even _think_ about getting anywhere near that area...
Looking up that's what one would think, but read the section about "Spatial reference and perspective" in the description. It makes good points.

You’re climbing up. Find your line.
Cuz people are idiots

Where is the rest of the rescue footage. It’s such a circus up there in the spring, I’m surprised there are not more incidents!!
No rescue footage because... he didn't get rescued.
Climbed out himself, says so in the description.
A reminder to pick your line..... he's really lucky to be alive
alive ? he def dead af
He spent more time picking his pud.
@@jonasbleuer996nope. He climbed out under his own power. Aside from poor choices, he was prepared with ice axes and crampons. Totally unharmed.
Hes lucky.. the hole looks really deep but the bottom would be deep due to the waterfall.. so a lot of the damage would have been absorbed by water.
He actually fell on a rock ledge which prevented him from falling further.
Ice water. he would have been. dead within minutes.
Dear Darwin:
I believe this next move will put me in first place...
That looked really fun
ridiculous it's not fenced off if people won't respect a massive hole in the ground
now, that's some remarkable stupidity
I think that happened to a girl a few years ago it was sometime before they could recover her body. Not a place to take lightly and foolish.
Legend has it that's right where they buried him
Hey god, it’s me again
The snowboarder is either crazy or stupid or doesn't care or the old fashioned combo.
the Fall of a thousand streams yearns for joeys
He just won the equivalent of the lottery.
Someone get his reboot card
A snowboarder falling into tuckerman's Ravine I would say he probably didn't belong there then
Hope they paid for rescue for doing such a stupid thing.
He didn’t need to be rescued, he was able to climb out on his own.
Lol
