Jeff Evans, a friend and co-climber with Eric Alexander, crosses a crevasse on the group's 'Jesus ladder' during a successful summit attempt of Mount Everest in May 2001. Alexander says the group affectionately named its ladder the 'Jesus ladder' because that was the first thing Evans said when he stepped out on it to make his way across the gorge.
