A dangerous rockfall incident on Mont Blanc’s Goûter Couloir, a notorious section of the mountain known as ‘Death Pass’, was captured on video by a climber navigating the treacherous terrain. The footage documents rocks tumbling down the couloir as climbers attempted to traverse this hazardous passage.
During the incident, the climber who filmed the event and his climbing partner demonstrated quick thinking by pausing their ascent to assist other mountaineers in escaping the path of the falling debris. Their actions highlighted the unpredictable dangers climbers face on one of Europe’s highest peaks.
The Goûter Couloir has earned its grim nickname due to the frequency of rockfalls and other hazards that claim lives each year. This latest incident underscores the risks inherent in mountaineering, particularly in high-altitude environments where environmental conditions can change rapidly and unexpectedly.
