Alpine Rescue - Episode 6 - 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.

Some people are just asking for it. Like the old lady that haven't left home in 20 years. I guess she thought she became a rock climber over night. Or the man in the end. He is wearing tight for god sake. no crampons no jacket.. So much incompetence.

Thanks to the journalist team who kept respectful regarding every aspects, this is a very human documentary which does not shows the unavoidable sketchy parts (what some french channel did exclusively) it shows how hard mountain can be but never sound too dramatic neither sarcastic. It does not judge, shows enough , not too much, they have done like rescuers do, and by the way the watchers will learn without suffering too much pain, they wont keep too big scarves, will recover and they wont loose the ability of seeing mountains as a treasure of beauties.
