Il est probable que cette faille calcaire soit lĂ depuis toujours.
Les lapiaz présentent en hiver des dangers identiques aux glaciers, vous avez eu beaucoup de chances (et de la technique) !
Mais pour info, la via n’est normalement pas ouverte à cette période (seulement à partir du 23 mai, et jusqu’au 2 novembre), la cable pouvant être recouvert et la descente nettement plus dangereuse :
Thanks for your accident report - glad you made it out (relatively) safely.
Just to clarify: mountain rescue in France is free, even without insurance. I think this misconception is important to address, since while in your case self rescue was alright, there have previously been accidents where people chose not to call rescue services due to (imagined) cost, only to end up having a much worse accident.
Hi Rufus,
Much appreciated. Yes I was not aware of this. I think had I have not been able to self rescue, I would have called. I was also equipped with a PLB.
