Deadly fall of a Polish climber

A Polish climber fell to his death, on Sunday afternoon at over 3000 meters above sea level in the Couloir du Gouter (Normal route of the Mont Blanc), in one of the most delicate passages of the Mont Blanc ascent. The man, of unknown age, was climbing with a group of "four or five" climbers, when he fell for an unknown reason. The Couloir du Gouter is a delicate ridge on the normal route of Mont Blanc. The rock falls are frequent, a slip can cause a fall of several hundred meters. Every year, sadly, some climbers die there. Le Dauphiné
