A group of mountaineers takes the 'Couloir du Gouter' on the 'Voie Royale" route to climb atop the Mont-Blanc peak on August 6, 2018 in the Mont-Blanc range near Saint-Gervais, eastern France. Authorities of the Haute-Savoie department and the mayor of Saint Gervais recommend mountaineers to postpone their ascent of Mont Blanc by the 'Couloir du Goûter' because of the important risk of falling rocks due to the heat wave. Furthermore, the Haute-Savoie prefecture extended until August 15 access restrictions for the Mont Blanc by the classic route 'Couloir du Gouter' in the French Alps, because it is overly frequented. / AFP PHOTO / PHILIPPE DESMAZESPHILIPPE DESMAZES/AFP/Getty Images
