Animal Planet's "I Shouldn't Be Alive" episode "Killer Crevasse" is replaying this Wed at 9pm. I saw this Saturday night right after a mountaineering outting and it was pretty good.

http://animal.discovery.com/tv/i-should ... guide.html
Mountaineer Jim Davidson and best friend Mike Price embark on a mountaineering expedition to conquer the snow-shrouded summit of Mount Rainier in Washington State. On the descent disaster strikes when, and without warning, Jim plunges into an 80-foot crevasse, pulling Mike down with him. Having survived the fall and an avalanche of snow, Jim discovers that partner Mike has not been so lucky. To save his own life, Jim has to figure out a way to scale the sheer frozen walls, injured, without the right gear or a climbing partner. Can Jim overcome his grief and find the courage and skill to attempt the toughest climb of his life?
