  How many people have died or caused others to die just because they wanted a selfie .

  The level of detail is amazing, considering no one survived to tell the tale 🤔

  The rockfall piece in this video is from the Grand Couloir below Mt Blanc, Chamonix, what a bad clip. RIP ❤

  For me, the very best thing about mountain climbing is that you don't have to do it!

  Just watching this video gives me anxiety. I will never understand the desire to put one’s life in such danger. Makes zero sense to me.

  The video of the rock fall is from Mont Blanc crossing the Grand Couloir, not from The Matterhorn

  How do people still attempt to climb mountains not fully prepared or equipped for every eventuality, even experienced climbers like those mentioned, taking unnecessary risks, unbelievable.

  Never take photos with a red cross on your face, it will jinx whatever you're about to do.

  All who attempt mountains like this need to accept the inherent risks with or without guides in fact the extreme risks are part of the allure. Guides make decisions in extremely difficult and perilous situations not in comfortable offices and yes in hindsight they get some wrong. I have made plenty of wrong calls in much more benign circumstances.

  What good is that metal shelter if you can’t survive in it?

  This reminds me of a reoccurring nightmare I had as kid.

  I am not a climber or descender, the highest I ever climbed is the stairwell all the way upto the 12 th floor. Of course I do not know how the guide planned the climb with the forecast in mind but I think it is sensible to ALWAYS depart 30 minutes earlier than the forecast predicts
