Is this the guides or the clients? If I were a guide, I just
wouldn't
want to take anyone up that route. It can't be worth it... or maybe
it
is, depending on their fees.

I don't know if you are following the news from Chamonix but 3
climbers have been killed by Seracs in the Grand Mulets area this
week. They were part of a group on a training course coming down from
le Mt Blanc with a guide.
