Using conflicting reports, apparently a British soldier, on an adventure course, was killed when a serac (wall of ice) partially collapsed on the Mont Blanc du Tacul. Five other soldiers escaped serious injury. Military, alpine adventure courses have for some years now been led by a UIAGM / IFMGA guide. Interestingly, in this particular fatal incident, a guide has not been mentioned. This particular route on the Mont Blanc du Tacul has claimed many lives over the years through avalanches usually, because climbers, for some reason, are still on the face in the heat of the afternoon.
