Several teams have reported signs of an impending collapse: unusual noises (creaking, cracking, etc.), vibrations coming from the wall, and the sound of water flowing without any visible water in the Kohlmann/Clair de Lune area (extreme right hand side) of the south face of the Aiguille du Midi. 
 

A 12-metre sized block fell down a few weeks ago. Probably best to avoid in this hot weather!

North face of Col du Plan had a big avalanche /serac collapse recently too:- https://www.facebook.com/share/v/17DSWhRa6J/

That's scary - we were there last week for the Contamine and Rébuffat-Baquet (a bit further left) and didn't notice anything untoward - However, the 12m block you mentioned had only recently landed and is a chilling reminder that these mountains aren't static things!

Treat with caution or, as you say, avoid!
