“This incident happened on my expedition to Spantik which is a 7027m peak in Pakistan. We were waiting on at the base camp for a weather window so that we could climb to C1, because of continuous snowfall, this huge boulder fell and came straight towards the base camp, fortunately, nobody was hurt but it did destroy my tent and our kitchen tent and one more climber’s tent taking his gear with it down in the glacier.”

Good lord that was close. This will forever make me think twice before setting camp under an inclined field of loose rock. Yikes.
