Copter Pilots Rescue Climbers Over Mt Blanc Slopes
In Chamonix France eight climbers were winched to safety from 12000 feet on Mt Blanc while two French climbers Vincendon and Henry remained stranded. Rescue teams faced harsh weather and could not reach the pair, who may have died, as four others were already rescued after a prior helicopter crash. All survivors were hospitalized with frostbite. The Chamonix Mountain Guide Assn condemned the climbers for taking a dangerous risk outside the Alpine season.
