Another accident on Mont Blanc

The Polish and Spanish climbers that were blocked since Saturday night at Goûter Hut, could finally be evacuated yesterday morning around 9 am by the Italian rescuers. The PGHM Chamonix captain, Jean-Baptiste Estachy, said that tThe weather didn't allow us to take off today. That's why we asked for the help of the Italian rescuing teams. Since Friday evening, these 7 climbers (Polish and Spanish), were lost near the Dome du Gouter, on the border between Italy and France. Caught in a violent storm, two of them (one Spanish and one Polish) were unfortunately found dead.
