A French mayor wants those who are brave enough to climb Mont Blanc to pay a £13,000 rescue and funeral deposit before tackling it because of how dangerous it is.
Jean-Marc Peillex, who is mayor of Saint-Gervais, a village at the foot of the mountain, has said he's been left exacerbated with the "contempt" of mountain climbers.
It's hoped that the €15,000 - equivalent to around £12,600 - will put off unqualified climbers who are gambling with their lives, as well as stopping what he described as "pseudo climbers" who insist on climbing the mountain "with death in their backpacks".
