Alpine Rescue - Episode 2 - Angels of Mont Blanc
Mountain | reviews | videos | photos
A hair-raising 6 part adventure series set in the alpine resort of Chamonix, located at the heart of the French Alps. Following the Mountain Rescue Team (PGHM) as they rescue climbers and skiers from the Mount Blanc Region above the town. The area is the climbing mecca of the world and its rescue team the busiest and the most respected. The terrain is extreme and virtually every rescue involves helicopter winching, often from sheer cliffs and ice faces. Filmed during the peak climbing season in summer, the team risk their lives to save others in this beautiful but dangerous environment. A must watch for anyone interested in the tallest mountains in Europe or understanding the work performed by the world's premier mountain rescue service. This 2001 documentary was produced by Pioneer Productions for Channel 5. Pioneer Productions has strong links with the rescue team and is experienced at filming under extreme conditions. The specialist trauma unit at the Chamonix hospital, which is constantly under threat of closure, deals with anything from broken necks and backs to hypothermia and frostbite.

yes, euhmm, yes, we thought it would be a great idea to bring our elderly grandmother to come climb the mountain with us...

Trekking is what buys that helicopter and town.....not tech. mountain climbers - they wouldn't support tourism at all.

The Alps used to be for people who respected and loved the mountains. Today, it"s one big commercial circus, filled with people who lack all respect. Such people don''t belong in the mountains. Honestly, I don't care if they die. The more the better.

Hi. God loves You. Peace, man. Revealed; The Truth about
God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit: Revelation 2:17, The Urantia Book, free,
online. Please share with everyone, (without
a doubt or Prejudice, Our only True Holy Grail), @AntonKnebenson @GAC8717
My Dear Beloved Friends, God Loves You!
Why? A New Revelation with the Spirit of Truth is here Today to Help All of us
know the Truth about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, ( The Urantia Book,
Revelation 2:17,Free, Online, in all international Languages, and Guided by
Archangel Michael, His Trusted Angels, and the Holy Spirit ).A prayer and
Blessing for all Good Loving Believers who Wish to share the Truth about Jesus,
The Son of God and the Holy Spirit:
For all the Children who are Ruined by shame
Mirror child
The image of a precious dove
Dancing barefoot on the beach
Drinking in love and sunshine
full of smiles
never having to die.
Mere child
Dreaming awhile on a school title
Learning to carry books for miles.
Crayons, pencils, stencils
Nothing you need to do but
Sing and carry the wind on
Your wings.
Mirror child
Like daddy or mommy
Carrying so many burdens for
A little person
All the time
Not able
To catch the spies and
Spiders.
Go back to the skies,
Little dove
And play with the eagles who tamed this land
Until you are a spirit so good and pure
That you will truly guide the directions of our
Bloodied hands.
Temptations of Evil
Muscles of Clay,
Eyes of pitifully empty bliss,
Teeth of dragons never begotten,
You stand alone
Praying to brainless demons
Praising power empty
Of Spirit, Goodness
or Hope.
You shall reap no Glory
But only Mortal death and baptized Shame
So as to Die without Jesus
Or any Holy Name.
Stained by lust,
Broken tears and stardom,
Born of evil and deviltries
Ill conceived
Raise Your Heart to God
Jesus and The Holy
Spirit,
And He will Remove Your Pain,
Stop your foolish self destructive reign,
And bring you Spiritual Relief
You could never possibly or individually
Humanly gain.
To Have Peace, Love
And Eternal
Happiness and Justice
For All People,
Believe in Jesus,
The Son of Mary and God,
And You Will Be
Immortally Saved
For ever more,
And Be Loved By Our Holy Father God
For all Eternity. -
Definitely won't be trying paragliding any time soon.

Badly clothed, no climbing gear. These People have no business being on mont blanc. Easy access does not equal easy mountain.
