Reconstruction of the July 1961 attempt by a Franco-Italian group to climb the Freney Pillar in the Mont Blanc massif. The expedition consisted of Frenchmen Pierre Mazaud, Robert Guillaume, Pierre Kohlmann, and Antoine Vieille, and Italians Walter Bonatti, Andrea Oggioni, and Roberto Gallieni. The groups arrived separately at the Col de la Fourche camp, but with the same objective. They joined forces by chance to conquer the famous peak. The attempt was hampered by bad weather, and three Frenchmen and one Italian perished during the descent.
