Description
Romain was doing a solo écrins tour planed on 2 days. First day : Dome des Ecrins - les rouies Second day : Olan nord with a non jumping friend - tête de l’ours - aiguille du plat de la selle - râteau The PGHM found him at the bottom of the north face of aiguille du plat de la selle. We supposed he didn’t clear the ledge… It’s a big lost for the French community. Romain has opened 15 new jumps this summer in les Ecrins.
