Ever wanted to know what it looks like to fall down an icy mountain? Yeah, I bet this guy didn’t, either.

Dramatic scenes showing a climber’s 100ft (30m) fall down a gully on Snowdon have been published online.

Climber and a safety consultant Mark Roberts, 47, was wearing a head camera when he lost his grip despite using ice axes, plunging over rocks and snow.

“You just try not to panic and hope there’s some luck with you,” he tells the British Mountaineering Council website which has posted his film.

I’m not sure what to add other than “thank goodness this guy’s okay” and maybe “OH MY GOD DUDE YOU FELL DOWN A MOUNTAIN,” but this is one of those clips you should watch and experience. It’s really beautiful, in a way. I imagine Heaven is a lot like that skyline. I imagine Hell is like having a mountain’s worth of rocks jammed into your ass as you fall off an icy f**king mountain.

My only advice to this climber: never try Zorbing.

Self-proclaimed “professional climber, adventure addict, world traveler, artist, musician, budding film maker” Cedar Wright recently shot a video for the Squamish Mountain Film Festival, entitled “Squamish in a Day.” During that video shoot, Wright and his fellow rock climbers hit a bit of a snag, though, and one climber – Jason Kruk – got his knee stuck in a tight crack. But that was just the start of Kruk’s escalating problems. Haha, oh rock puns.

Kruk, who looks like he could be in a Fall Out Boy tribute band, admits during a video that a fellow climber shot of their ordeal that he was a bit hungover. Once he realized his knee was stuck in the crack and Wright comes to his aid, Kruk begins to dry heave and then eventually craps his pants. All while Wright is hanging beneath him, trying to get his leg free.

Video for “Boogie ’til You Poop” after the jump (NSFW for language, lots of bad words that would make your grandma hush you).
