According to several news media, a group of 11 climbers and their UIAGM guide were caught in a massive ice avalanche at the Junction of the Grand Mulet and the Upper Bossons Glaciers. Six if the group died. The Junction, along with the massive serac wall half way up the Grand Mulet on the left, are known danger areas especially during the midday, afternoon heat.

Many climbers have been overwhelmed in these two areas. In one such accident fifteen years ago, 14 climbers were killed in a single avalanche of ice. Spreading large parties out (going through these areas quckly in 2′s) whilst passing through these areas will reduce the threat.
