A very sad new is arrived from France, that the death of G\u00e9rard Pailheiret, a mountain guide and creator of the site www.ice-fall.com that in recent years has been an always updated\u00a0reference site to know the condition of the ice falls \u00a0in the French Alps.
\n\u00a0
\nWe also owe to him \u00a0the invention of the Internationaux de la Cascade de Glace in L\u2019Argenti\u00e8re la Bess\u00e9e (known as ICE), the popular annual meeting that attracts ice climbers from all over Europe.
\n\u00a0
\nIn love with ice-climbing, G\u00e9rard Pailheiret was among the pioneers of this fascinating vertical art and was able to convey the passion and the knowledge of ice to a large number of practitioners.
\n\u00a0
\nTouching the words that appear on his website today: "Yesterday he started to get cold. In normal winters would G\u00e9rard immediately go to photograph the first ice-falls. Instead, on November 23 he has lost his battle against the illness. All those who knew him closely or from afar, all those who wish to pay tribute to him, can \u00a0think of him \u00a0when they enter in the Fournel valley.
\nHis ashes will be scattered at the foot of a waterfall "
