The wife was with the man at the time of the accident and he was the one who alerted the emergency services.

The deceased and his wife are experienced mountaineers who, according to the Gendarmerie investigating the accident, were carrying the right equipment.

Dozens of gendarmes and a helicopter have participated in the fog conditioned rescue work. 

Mount Carlit is the highest mountain in the Eastern Pyrenees, above 2,900. 

The gendarmerie keeps the investigation open to determine how the fall occurred, but it should be noted that a year ago another man from Catalonia died in the same place in a similar accident.
