:32:10
I did notice that more
weight came onto the rope,
:32:14
but didn't really think a lot
about this. And I just thought,
:32:17
"Well, he's going over
some steeper ground"
:32:20
When I looked down, and I glimpsed
'cause there was a big drop underneath me,
:32:26
I was horrified to
discover what I'd gone over.
:32:31
And I could clearly see that there was
a large crevice directly under the cliff,
:32:35
about 25m below me.
:32:40
I was trying to get my axes to see if I
could reach this wall that was out there,
:32:44
I think, almost as I start and try to
do that, I started being lowered again.
:32:49
And I was thinking, "Christ,
don't do it, don't do it",
:32:51
'cause I knew, that there wasn't
enough rope to get me to the bottom.
:32:56
And if I couldn't get
my weight off the rope,
:32:57
he couldn't disconnect the
rope, to get on the other side.
:32:59
And I knew all this, and I was
screaming again, not to lower me.
:33:03
I carried on lowering him, until I
reached the knot, then shook the rope.
:33:08
My signal to him, to take
the weight off the rope.
:33:13
And nothing happened.
:33:17
And nothing continued to happen.
:33:46
I knew, that the only way out of
this is if I could climb up the rope.
