Mt Blanc, 9 dead.

[EDManual]

I get over to Geneva quite often, and have been up the L'aiguille du midi, which is the highest cable car (3842 Metres!) on earth that leaves from Chamonix (which is an awesome place!) and dreamed of taking the walk up to Mont Blanc!
But would you believe they say on average 100 people a year die on that mountain! Crazy!
I'd also like to ski down from l'aiguille down to Chamonix, that would be awesome too!
If that was in oz, it would be shut down! Thats what I like about France!
Not the same, but I went go karting on an awesome track in really fast karts, if you are wearing thongs and shorts, no problems. Its your decision if you want to do that!

How can a good pen cause so much damage?
