Brendan Cusick, a mountain guide climbing solo on Ama Dablam, hangs where he fell into the giant crevasse that is the final obstacle to the summit headwall. Cusick broke several bones in the fall but the rescue, by the photographer and mountain guide Anne Parmenter, dangerously delayed the climbers' summit bid.
