An Alpine skier in the French Alps happened upon a massive crevasse which crumbled, plummeting the experienced skier into a deep glacier crater.
Powtos' GoPro head mount captures the skier losing control and free-falling into the icy hole. He continues to drop until he manages to wedge his skis into the glacier and finally come to a stop at a sliver of ledge. Footage shows how the icy drop continues deeper into darkness.
In the comments on his Instagram page, @lespowtos, the skier describes making it out with crampons, or ice cleats, and a small piece of rope
