Mont Blanc claims two more climbers

two more climbers have died on Mont Blanc in the Alps following the deaths of nine people last week in a massive avalanche.

A military official from the Alpine rescue team in Entreves, Italy, said yesterday that the bodies of a Polish woman and Spanish man were found 14,436 feet up on the Dome du Gouter, on the Italian-French border.

The two had been climbing with two Spaniards when they were caught in bad weather on Friday night. The two Spanish climbers made it to a shelter.
