A couple moments later and a body length or two higher, this guy did a gnarly Jesus style backwards dive. He stopped completely below the frame of this shot. Spectacular as it was I couldn't persuade him to do it again for the camera.

Doesn't look like he had much margin, if he stopped falling below the frame of the picture!
Ice pillars are scary.

I didn't think he was going to stop. Remarkably he walked away relatively unharmed.
The photo is a little deceptive. Below the bottom of the frame there's at least another 30 to 40 feet of vertical before the ground. I figure he went roughly 50 feet maybe more.
It was really an event to behold from my vantage point. Would have truly ruined my day had he gone all the way to the bottom.
