Lizzie on Mer de Glace ladder

Producer Lizzie Gillett climbing the infamous ladders Mer de Glace (Sea of Ice) as seen in the glacier scene of The Age of Stupid. Sixty years ago there weren't any ladders and people could step directly onto the ladder but now, because the glacier has melted so much, there is about one hundred and fifty metres of ladders to descend before people get to the Mer de Glace.
