Eleven Men Lost On Mont Blanc In Deadly Snow Storm

The Chamouni village gathers in sorrow as word spreads that eight to eleven explorers and guides perished during a May fall from Grand Mulets to the summit. A frantic rescue party faced a blinding blizzard and reports say many volunteers died or were saved by sheer endurance. The narrative names John Balmat and August Copter among guides and notes Dr. Beane of Pelicora as a noted physician involved in the aftermath.
