2004 Year of Hard Knocks (27 Feb 2005)
Monday, June 2nd, 2008
French mountain guides had a particularly bad year in 2004. According to: http://www.pistehors.com/comments/375_0_1_0_C/ they lost 9 guides along with 6 mountain clients, apparently, twice the annual average. I will leave you to therefore, work out how many clients have been lost, on average, annually in the past… The above statistic of course, pales in the light of five guides and nine clients (aspirent guides) who were killed in a single avalanche in June, 1964, on the Aiguille Vert above Chamonix.
