Answer:

Crevasses, which are usually deep, steep, and thin, are a serious danger for mountaineers. Sometimes, a thin layer of snow may form over a crevasse, creating a snow bridge. ... Crevasses can create seracs, which are also dangerous to mountaineersIf you fall in a crevasse you can use the ice screw to secure yourself so you don't fall deeper. The pulley and carabiners are for rescuing others. Two ice tools, crampons, rope, and several ice screws (basically, ice climbing gear) may allow you to climb out yourself.A bergschrund (from the German for mountain cleft) or rimaye (from French; pronounced [ʁimaj]) is a crevasse that forms where moving glacier ice separates from the stagnant ice or firn above. It is often a serious obstacle for mountaineers, who sometimes abbreviate "bergschrund" to "schrund"
