We spent a few months in the Alps this summer and it was an absolute horror show. Absolutely unprecedented melting of glaciers, permafrost and collapsing rock structures. There's a real sense that mountain sports are changing forever.
One of the glaciers we cut our teeth on a decade ago lost 45m in length and four meters in thickness just while we were there.
Local legend says that hot summers are followed by big snows. Sadly not.
