Bad one on Grand Combin yesterday, on the Plateau du Déjeuner approach.
17 climbers caught in a serac collapse at 3,400m at about 6am. 2 dead, 9 critical injuries. Grim.
Temperature was above freezing up to 4200m the night before. There's a reason why you should always be risk assessing upwards but ultimately it comes down to luck.
