In the Grand Est, the health situation is worrying, and the curfew has been brought forward to 6 p.m. In France, eight new departments advanced their curfew to 6 p.m. last night, joining fifteen others who had done so last weekend. About 40 cases of contamination by the British variant have so far been detected, while the first doses of the Moderna vaccine will be delivered on Monday.

In addition to the objective difficulties of the climb, Mingote may have to grapple with possible restrictions by Chinese authorities on Shishapangma and Sadpara joins French mountaineer for 'Beyond Mount Everest' expedition .

Sergi Mingote, 49, was not part of that group but of another team, which was due to try to climb to the top on another day. He was at an intermediate camp and fell on his way back down to base camp, injuring a leg according to his team.

This year, no less than four different teams and about sixty climbers were present on K2, more in total than all the previous expeditions put together. "Appalled at the news of the accident which ended the life of a magnificent sportsman," , Spain's Health Minister Salvador Illa tweeted, explaining that Mr. Mingote was a "personal friend".
