Two deaths on the mountain, on Bitrish citizen and one French

Around 5:30, the climber who had fallen into a crevasse on the "glacier du Millieu" on Friday, at 3100m, was found dead. The English man, thirty years old, fell 40 meters to his death. Friday evening, rescuers had suffered terrible conditions with hail and thunderstorms. But there was probably nothing more to do. The mountaineer which was climbing with a companion, was already dead as a result of trauma to the head and hip. Also at dawn, a second unfortunate outcome of a search operation that began yesterday. Around 20:30 on Friday, parents concerned not to see their son come from hiking, alerted the PGHM. A caravan was on the land with headlamps following the likely course of the boy around the Fiz chain via the Dérochoir. Returning at 4 am, they had found no trace of the disappeared. Yesterday morning, aided by aerial reconnaissance and the light of day, the lifeless body of the young man, an Annecien aged 17, was found under the col of Anterne in the coouloir of the "Mitraille", a route usually done on skis in the winter. It probably would have succumbed to a rockfall. Saturday was also the most intense for rescuers with no fewer than eight other operations in the Mont-Blanc. To note a lost Polish hiker under the "plan de l'aguille", whose research forced the helicopter of the civil security make several manoeuvres on the valley flank at the entrance to Chamonix. The victim suffered from multiple fractures. in Le Dauphine July 27th, 2009
