It has been announced that two mountaineers who suffered a fatal fall on the Dent du Geant yesterday afternoon were Irish.

One forty year old and one man in his fifties were seen by other mountaineers to have fallen, and alerted the PGHM (local mountain rescue services).

The two climbers were apparantly welll equipped and the PGHM will be investigating the cause of their accident.

Our thoughts are with their friends and family.
