Two Belgian climbers alive after falling 200 meters!

Both Belgian climbers (Pierre Moreau, 58 years old, and Yannick Dufour, 40 years old) must surely have to light a few candles after what happened to them on Sunday. They were walking close to the Brenva spur when the two climbers felt into a glacier crevasse. A drop of 200 meters in a frozen canal. Miraculously, the two climbers survived with only broken bones and scratches, but alive. A Swiss climbing party, who was on the Kuffner ridge, saw them fall and gave the alarm to the Italian PGHM. The mountain rescue had to get inside the crevasse where the two climbers were, then they had to pull them out using the helicopter cable system. After that the 2 climbers were taken to the hospital in Aosta. Le Dauphiné
