This photo shows the importance of translation with regards to popular local activities. Chamonix is a tourist town, where mountaineers come to take advantage of the challenging climbs found in this portion of the Alps. These professional climbers are often mixed with local tourists and their equipment is unfamiliar and often dangerous to members of the general public. This sign shows the importance of properly translating warnings and educating the public about the dangers of professional equipment in public spaces.
