“This mountain, source of so much happiness, took him”: the world of mountaineering mourns its prodigy guide Benjamin Ribeyre

The terrible accident occurred at a cliff of around sixty meters which blocked the descent, on the so-called “d’Orcière” route. No surprise for this guide who knew this mountain like the back of his hand. The avalanche risk was low and the weather was good. He had already spotted this critical passage and knew how to cross it.
