On the other hand, for the police it has been difficult to know how exactly the five French mountain climbers fell down. None of them survived this unfortunate accident and for this reason researchers on mountain mishap have been analysing the steep terrain in search of some evidence of the fall. At the end, some clue came out in relation to the security rope. It seems that one of the carabiners was wore away and the weight of the five climbers caused the break of it.

As has been said before, the group fell down about 100 meters and the bodies were beaten multiple times. Furthermore, some of these dead climbers were hung in the air because of the ropes that supported them. This fact produced difficulties in the rescue, large number of specialists at the mountain had to work together to get put the bodies in a safety transport to take them to the nearest city.
