4 experienced climbers were killed in an avalanche on the Pic du Midi. It was near the summit. This follows another avalanche a few days ago :(

Cuatro alpinistas muertos en una avalancha en el Pirineo francés :(

The climbers were French. Cy, the peak is Midi de Bigorre, not to be mixed with Pic du Midi d'Ossau, both in French Pyrenees
