Man Vs. Gravity and Ice

A man I working his way up a sheer ice face with a group of wealthy clients. One of the clients slips and starts to fall; as the rope that connects him to the next man up pulls tight, that man loses his grip. As the chain continues and the rest of the clients begin to fall one after another, the man takes off his gloves and punches his bare fists into the ice to hold himself there. When the tension reaches the rope attached to his belt, he does not move; unfortunately the rope cannot bear the weight and snaps off of his belt. As the man does not wish the clients to die (as he gets paid half after he brings them back), he dives down in an attempt to beat the clients to the ground. When he reaches the first one he grabs him and pulls the client up to accelerate himself downward even faster; he does this with each successive client and gains sufficient speed to gain a few seconds on them. As he approaches the ice below he lets loose a yodel that would shatter the eardrums of a normal man. This yodel has such intensity at the resonant frequency of the ice crystals that the ice below liquefies into a lake. The man then proceeds to hit the lake with enough force to break the surface tension for the clients so they do not hurt themselves landing in the water. He swims around and gathers the clients onto his back to run them the ten miles back to camp.
