Crevasses are deep cracks in the ice, sometimes hidden and hundreds of feet deep, while seracs are towering ice blocks and icefalls are chaotic, frozen rapids—all lethal. Ropes aren't just for safety; they are the sacred thread connecting a team’s fate, so a fall is shared. I say this because I’ve held the rope for a man who vanished into a hidden crevasse, and felt his weight disappear from this world. The mountain doesn't care about your skill, only your respect.
