Last Monday, three climbers hoisted a banner on the 'Roof of Europe' to demand the repeal of a drilling permit to exploit shale gas. The timing was to coincide with the subject being discussed in the French National Assembly today. The three climbers have made this ascent of Mont Blanc as well as a Tour of France, and have collected over 4,000 signatures. They also have the support of a national petition that has gathered 100 000 signatures. More information here! Radio Mont Blanc
