Tourist barely climbed mount Blanc, and came across drinking Russians
British traveler Witlox Sadie (Sadie Whitelocks) reported in his column about the rise of the Mont Blanc. Reported by the Daily Mail.
Witlox told that the ascent to the highest peak of the Alps — Mont Blanc (4810 metres) — was given to her with great difficulty. Before climbing she spent a week in the climbing school. During the ascent one of the members of the group with which the British had made the ascent, felt ill, and had to be evacuated by helicopter.
At a height of just over three thousand meters in the so-called Refuge du Goûter (Hut hut) Witlox found the Russian tourists who, according to her, drank champagne from a giant bottle-Jeroboam with a capacity of three liters. The cost of a bottle, according to the Brits, was more than two thousand dollars.
