Huge peices of ice can just randomly start falling down the mountian, and the sizes can range from the size of a car to the size of a very large house. -

Beck Weathers left for death
Weathers lives through the sub-zero tempertures but suffers horrible frostbite on his hands and his face. he had to have many of his body parts removed or amputated because the frostbite was so bad. He lost his right arm up to the elbow, all fingers including the thumb on his left hand, his nose, parts of his cheek, and parts of both of his feet. All of his injuries made people think that he was going to die but so far hes pushed through. : ) -
