Hiked on the Videma Galcier today. It was very windy. So windy, that my glasses got ripped off my face. As I started after them, which was a bad move, I tripped on the crampons (ice climbing cleats) and started sliding down the glacier towards a huge crevasse. Luckily I got my crampons dug into the ice and stopped my slide a few feet before I would have been in alot of pain. However, my eye glasses were sacrificed to the "ice gods"
