OH MY GOD. That is horrible. How the hell did he get out of the waterfall / crevasse?
Based on the video, it just screams out: That person was not ok.
I am glad to hear they are alright. Wow.
Way too many people go to Tuckerman Ravine who are inexperienced, underprepared and have no clue what they're doing.

He was able to self rescue. WATCH: Snowboarder Falls Into Massive Hole At Tuckerman Ravine
I was impressed by the high percentage of skiers and boarders carrying short axes on their packs when I visited the Ravine last Thursday. Talked to a pair of skiers who were able to descend continuously 4300 vertical ft from the summit parking lot to Pinkham via the East Snowfields, Central Gully in Huntington, the Huntington Ravine Trail, Harvard Cabin fire road, and the Sherbie. Good alternative when the Little Headwall is melted out this time of year. We were barely able to sneak down the Sherbie all the way to Pinkham on Thursday, which is now mostly melted out in the lower mile.
Next thing you know they will be asking when and where the black flies will be out. At least according to some numbers are down. So the carnage should be minimal. Although they do say they come in on snowshoes and leave on snowshoes.

A little follow up. Last video captures it all. Caution: Some foul language

Nobody seemed very concerned.
Back-country skiers and snowboarders are a pretty laid back groups.
If you all didn't click on this link, it was worth it for this photo. WM Pic of the Year, I'd say. It says "Image Credit: Megan Howes", a wedding photographer who was in the right place and had their finger on the shutter button at the right time:

Will make return to wedding photography boring, no?
