We just got an email with terrible news:
"I have very, very bad news from Switzerland.
Elie Chevieux was murdered in Afghanistan a couple of days ago. Elie Chevieux, 31 years old, first climber to onsight 8b+, winner of many competitions, creator of the holds "Blate" and a really nice and cool guy was horribly murdered with stones in a public garden in Kaboul. He was on his way back home. Elie was a passionate photographer and he was travelling in Russia, Siberia, Japan, India, Nepal where he was around the Anapurna and finally in Afghanistan. He was there with a friend who was murdered as well.
Elie we will never forget you."
