Former ski mountaineering champion Adèle Milloz died at the age of 26 while climbing in the French Alps.
The French Mountain and Climbing Federation announced Milloz's death last Saturday (via Gina Martinez of CBS News). The organization said it's unclear how Milloz and another female she was practicing with died.
According to Adam Sage of the Times, Milloz and the woman, 30, were climbing up the Aiguille summit in the Mont Blanc mountain range. Milloz was working to become a mountain guide.
Eyewitnesses saw Milloz and the woman fall and alerted emergency personnel.
