New video out this Friday!!

I convinced my friend Evan to join me on a 30 day expedition where we climbed, hiked, and drove over 2500km across Pakistan in search of the tallest mountains on Earth

With the Matterhorn so close by, the Ober Gabelhorn (4063m) is probably a bit underappreciated, so perfect for a bit of Mountain-Monday-spotlighting.

What an epic view 🤩

This was an amazing moment I was able to enjoy this morning. The tour didn't go as planned so there was plenty of time to watch the capricorns all over the place around this beautiful scenery.

Watching glaciers makes me a bit sad as they're really in bad condition and I am hoping for a strong winter ahead. 🥶❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

The great Snowdon queue-skipping row – is it really OK to jump the line if you’re not taking a selfie?
By Guardian Staff

The crowds at the top of Yr Wyddfa, the highest mountain in Wales, are now so huge that seasoned hikers and climbers are simply walking past them. Is everyone just making a mountain out of a molehill?

We departed at 6:15. Myself as the guide, my son and a friend of mine. The friend of mine was never on a glacier before and is not used to scrambling so I planned with plenty of spare time. I defined 11am for the latest return point.
We were slow but well within the predefined time frame. The glacier is almost snow free with several crevascres, however it's an easy glacier, mostly almost flat. The final scrambling up to the summit I just did with my son, my friend decided to wait for us as he didn't feel confident enough to do the final scrambling. So we just spent a few minutes at the summit enjoying the views.
Back at the hut we refilled and descended back to Curaglia.

All in all a little bit more than 800m ascend and almost 2000m descent.

Back home at 22:20 - exhausted but happy.

Crowds at Mont Blanc: will hiking soon require reservations?

The Tour du Mont-Blanc is one of Europe’s most popular long-distance hiking routes, a 170-kilometre circuit through France, Italy and Switzerland that some 80 000 people walk each year, creating mounting problems.

Seit 1992 galten zwei belgische Wanderer nach einer Tour im Wallis als vermisst. Nun sind auf dem Triftgletscher bei Saas-Grund menschliche Überreste entdeckt worden. Die formelle Identifikation läuft noch.

Savage Mountain review – inside the record-smashing mountain climb that ruined lives
By Rachel Aroesti

Former cross-country skiing champion, Kristin Harila had clocked an incredible mountaineering record – but then, halfway up K2, she and her team encountered an injured porter from another expedition …

Some snaps from this week's "Arista del Campanitas" scramble.

Feeling inspired, I'm drafting a blog titled "Treading the Fine Line Between Scrambling and Rock Climbing" — exploring that gloriously confusing grey zone where our discipline labels overlap.

First image traces the approximate route; the rest capture the kind of scenery that makes you forget your legs are burning.

What a day yesterday. Lasting memories of that one for sure. Las Campanitas ridge to Veleta. A complex, dramatic route done without fuss or drama. Here's one with Linda at the summit of Salón 3325m with other members of our group scrambling up the right hand ridge

Buenos días. El Saltador de las Lañas en el PN de la Sierra y los Cañones de Guara (HUESCA) hace 20 años. La foto la hice con una vieja cámara digital de 3,1 megapíxeles. A pasar buen día!!

Buenas tardes. Hoy hemos dado un bonito paseo, de cerca de 6 horas, para dar la vuelta al Congosto de Ventamillo. A parte del espectacular paisaje, nos gusta porque salimos desde la puerta de casa. Huella de carbono 0... 😅 😅 😅

There’s something about a sunstar over a glacier that hits me every single time. ❄️
That mix of cold air, crunching snow and this sudden burst of light feels like a tiny reward for being up here early.

Moments like this remind me why I keep coming back — they stay with you long after the day is over. ✨
