I have dreamt of climbing Mont Blanc for
years and last summer some friends and I decided that we would give it an
attempt. I thought of it every day for almost an entire year so of course it
was terribly disappointing when the doctors said that I couldn’t go, as my
heart wouldn’t be well enough yet.

The rest of the team still went to Chamonix
as planned and early on Thursday morning they were on their way towards the
summit. The same morning we woke up to the bad news that an avalanche had
killed 9 climbers on their way to the summit. After about an hour of worry we
got to know our friends were safe and had decided to call off their attempt
because of the avalanche and bad weather.
Now all our thoughts also go the ones that
lost friends or family members in the mountains.
