The mountains are an extreme environment by nature and are becoming increasingly unwelcoming with climate change.
In the summer, rescue services respond almost daily in several French mountain ranges, and tragedies are occurring one after another: a hiker in his seventies fell several dozen meters in the Belledonne massif and did not survive. A few weeks later, a guide and his client, both Czech, lost their lives in the Goûter couloir, caught by a rockfall on the normal route of Mont Blanc—a couloir made more unstable by the drought and intense heat of this summer.
These are not isolated accidents: rescue services record a new number of interventions almost every season. The mountains are becoming a shifting terrain beneath the feet of an ever-growing number of users, not always prepared for this new reality.
This recurring phenomenon naturally leads to questions: do walkers, hikers, trail runners, and extreme sports enthusiasts truly assess their abilities when faced with terrain that social media often makes seem more accessible than it actually is?
To find out more, we met with the PGHM (High Mountain Gendarmerie Platoon) rescuers on a rescue mission, Hugo Chellough, a young mountaineer who has twice narrowly escaped death, and Xavier Cailholle, a high-mountain guide who studies the consequences of climate change.

Sans machard, il aurait pu faire une directe au sol en lâchant la corde sous l'effet de la douleur ! (bon point)
Volontairement, il s'écarte de l'axe de descente. Quand on fait ça la corde fini toujours par ramener à la verticale.
Ce mouvement de balancier accroche des pierres et même parfois va jusqu'à couper la corde.
Désolé de le dire, ce n'est pas un accident, c'est la conséquence d'une mauvaise décision (rappel hors axe) !
En espérant que ça pourra profiter à d'autres.
Ok, je sors 😊
ps: bonne vidéo
