Today in two seperate accidents, six people lost their lives. First accident happened near Cogne and the second one in La Grave area. Both accidents happened around the same time. In the second accident, climbers from UK were involved.
Are there any news reports? I know some Brits who are out in Cogne currently. Horrible news for all the climbers involved anyway, but hoping they are ok.
Terrible to hear this- we could only watch from high on the other side of the valley as an enormous avalanche engulfed four climbers on sonio di pattagonia on Wednesday. There was shouting for a little while after and no rescue choppers etc so we could only assume everyone was ok.
