Chloe Graftiaux, winner of the 2010 Vail World Cup Bouldering Event has fallen and died in a tragic climbing accident. She was on her last trip for becoming a mountain guide. They were near the top, descending from the black needle of the Peuterey, on an easy area where mountaineers are generally not roped in, and she was sucked into some rock fall and fell 600 meters. She was 23 years old.
Her parents made a statement:
"Saturday, the climbing Belgian Chloé Graftiaux and her rope partner went down the Noire needle of Peuterey, on the Italian slope of Mont Blanc. On a passage considered easy, Chloé Graftiaux was carried away by a stone fall, causing a fall of 600 meters. The unhappy one died on the blow. The 23 year old young woman had finished 3rd World cup of block [bouldering] and was on the point of passing her diploma of guide of High Mountain."
She will be missed.
