The Dangers Of Mont Blanc

[@taylordoo0077]

I climbed Mont Blanc a decade ago. It's no joke and not for the inexperienced

[@Idellle]

What mountain in Europe is good for beginners? Day trips

[@marijngade5403]

@@IdellleHello idellle, I would like to help but could u be a little bit more specific? have u ever walked on crapons? ,Do u know how to rope up for a glacier? Etc.

[@ziko317]

Let's be real. The news portrays like flocks of tourists are flooding in thinking it's a simple hike when the reality is most - 99% of people that attempt to climb Mont Blanc are experienced Alpinists that know what they're up against and are willing to accept that they may never return from the mountain.

[@mcciftci]

tons of videos like this on yt, praising attempting mont blanc with zero experience kzbin.info/www/bejne/anK7dYuheat-mNk

[@patrickclarke828]

We summited this year and the dangers are very real. In early August by 14:00 in the day there was an almost constant flow of rocks down the couloir. We watched from the Tete Rouse 'campsite' as many people had very close shaves, including a rock the size of a washing machine bouncing over the path! Preparation, preparation, preparation is the key. Know yourself and know your limits and then train to mitigate the risks.

[@editsbydaan6048]

Patrick Clarke It might be smarter to climb in the morning, for the falling rocks?

[@Anatolij2010]

This is really dangerous mountain.I m climb this 2016...I m failed.I hope that this year will be succses.

[@emperormaximusII]

Also climb either early (June) or late (September) because during the hot months of July and August a lot of the ice above the Couloir has melted which causes more rocks to fall.

[@nlomas]

I’d like to climb and was wondering what your advice is and what equipment I would need

[@gaz327]

Cosmiques arête isn’t on Mont Blanc. It certainly isn’t a route up the mountain. It goes from glacier to the ski lift. No research done properly

[@sharroon7574]

That snowboarder kept his head, I would have been way more upset

[@Rando_Shyte]

How did he even stop his fall? Surely he wasn't roped up while snowboarding?

[@banjoscope]

Mont Blonk

[@adm924s]

Filmed the wrong side of the arete, nice one :D !

[@GruntProof]

Inexperienced hikers getting killed on a mountain.....typical.

[@benmacdui9328]

The mountain isnt deadly , its the type of people who go up that are dangerous. Mostly English hikers used to skipping about the Peak District.

[@Daz759]

What do the English know about mountaineering eh

[@huehuehue4493]

It is estimated that over 8000 people lost their lives on Mont Blanc including my friend in 2011.

[@robster6868]

Tried to climb this last week,stayed in goûter hut,70kph winds in the morning,came down.

[@adammbrooks]

Same happened to me 3 weeks ago... It was the right call but can't help but feel disappointed we got so unlucky with the weather.

[@Tsumami__]

God damnit. Traffic jams on Mount Everest AND Mont Blanc? Oh I'm gonna have real fun over the next couple years.

[@darev6780]

Mont Blonk!

[@Rando_Shyte]

😂

[@REPENTBELIEVE]

Summited in July 2018 , rock falls were pretty much a feature of the Couloir which was in reality a short crossing to the Ridge scramble to The Gouter hut . Probably the most dangerous part was coming down the ridge from the Gouter Hut .

Why are there only two comments from sane people on here

[@apolloskyfacer5842]

Because the rest are mountaineers.

[@geckolia3823]

The commentator doesn't even know how to pronounce the mountain correctly 😖🤦‍♀️

It's not the highest mountain in Europe. The Elbroes in Russia is. The Mont Blanc is only the highest mountain of the alps

[@HikeandDiscover]

the highest in a western Europe as mentioned at the very beginning

[@Benkingutg]

Yeah but mount elbrus is on the Europe, asia border and mt blanc is all Europe

[@condorone1501]

Mount Elbrus is the highest peak in Europe.

[@retrospective77]

They literally say 'the highest peak in Western Europe'.
