Alpine avalanche survival tale from Longstaff siblings
An account from Charles Ing’s Western border book recounts a near fatal Alpine descent near Courmayeur. Longstaff and two companions Alexis and Henri navigate a snow slope when a new avalanche releases. Rope actions, a shift in balance, and a fall of about a thousand feet lead to a tangled stop. They suffer cuts and bruises. Alexis injured but alive. Henri partially entangled, all survived with swift reaction to a snow-filled gulley and eventual halt on a large snow-bed.
