| In a clearing between clouds we could see just ahead an area of large seracs where the shifting glacier had cleaved into blocks. |
| I listened intently, taking mental notes on their descriptions of the seracs, the crevasses, the hanging glaciers. |
| After a scenic tour down to Zermatt, past towering seracs and gaping crevasses, we got another helicopter ride up to the ridge. |
| Halfway up we became lost in a labyrinth of widemouthed crevasses and leaning seracs, and had to rope up and slow down. |
| They can't always hear each other if they are down in a gully or behind big ice seracs. |
| We alternate for what seems like hours until we pass the seracs and the angle of the glacier is close to flat. |
