Ich hielt mich an einem Weidenbusche fest, der über und über mit Tau bedeckt war, schwang mich empor, bekam einen Baumstamm zu fassen und dann wieder einen Weidenbusch; endlich klammerte ich mich an einen mächtigen Stein, der sich fast aus seiner Umgebung gelöst und mich auf gewaltsamer Fahrt ins Meer mitgenommen hätte.

I held on to a willow bush covered with dew, swung myself up, grabbed a tree trunk and then another willow bush. Finally, I clung to a huge rock that almost broke away from its surroundings and could have taken me on a violent journey into the sea.

Mark, 'der sich fast aus seiner Umgebung gelöst (hätte) und mich auf gewaltsamer Fahrt ins Meer mitgenommen hätte.'
Vorschlag: that almost broke away . . .
It is what could have happened and as a result he would have been violently torn down into the sea.
