Grand Couloir Mont Blanc - Near Accident
Sep.12, 2009 in
mont tremblant
This guy was trying to cross the Grand Couloir with a much to short sling attached to a crossing wire, causing him to be pulled up and finally slip. Luckily for him there came no rocks or ice block…

FYI - the youngest kid to climb on Mont Blanc was 8 years old to the best of my knowledge.

We crossed without connecting to the fixed line - just our own rope. We went early to avoid most of the rockfall… Not sure what this guy was thinking

Use a 16 ft sling and move very quick..do use the wire this is an extremely dangerous location due to rock fall.

The youngest person to summit everest is 16 and.. 14 days I belive, why can’t someone 2 years younger climb Mont Blanc?

In this case don’t use ropes, trust your feet!

prusik know to pull himself along the line might have been a reasonable idea

If he can’t reach, could he throw another rope over the fixed line, tie one end in and tie the other end with a munter hitch, pull it tight and tie it off, release the sling, lower self down on munter hitch?
