Tumble m Survives Climber

I think that the fact that he was attempting a controlled slide it may have lead to his survival. Going to the rocky area feet first was a good thing. I would have hated to see what happened if he hit the rocks head first or sideways.

Sliding breaks a lot of the free fall that would increase impact speed, the climber was lucky.
