A man with a torn calf sustained at the Gouter refuge was also assisted by the gendarmes. He was taken to the Bois helicopter base.
Also, a man who was injured on the Tete Rousse glacier in his ankle was safely transported to the base.
Rescue professionals made their way to the Aiguille du Midi’s south face in the afternoon to help a climber who was suffering from rib and back trauma.
