Scary Ice Climbing Fall

[Sombeech]

Even the most experienced mountain climbers can have accidents due to circumstances beyond their control. Such was the case for one man climbing in February when a piece of ice sent him sliding.

His helmet camera was on though and he has released the footage in the hopes others might learn from his experience.

According to British Mountaineering Council, the man going by Mark R. was climbing in Parsley Fern Gully in Snowdonia (yes, there is a place called Snowdonia in Wales) on February 24. Mark is reported to be a lifelong climber who is also a safety consultant.
