Heartbreaking scenes from #Blatten, where cascading landslides triggered a #glacier #collapse and lowered Nesthorn by 101m. ~90% of the village is destroyed. A rare, but deeply devastating event. My thoughts are with all affected families. 🙏❤️‍🩹

Mixed feelings on this #bluebird #day below Weissmies on #Hohlaubgletscher. Measured snow depths as low as 1m on a high alpine glacier at the very end of the winter. Tough times ahead for Swiss Glaciers. 💦🧊

Some recent climbing footage.

One of the most thrilling climbs Domča and I have done! The limestone cliffs here in Railey, Thailand are packed with insane overhangs and stalactites, a pure paradise for rock climbing.

Also, the sweatiest spot ever! Climb early or late to beat the heat. 🥵☀️

After doubts about reaching such a remote spot, the journey was worth it! While drilling, a water fountain erupted 💦 from a borehole, an interesting find for future studies on the glacier's stability. We’ll be back next year to explore more of this stunning site! #zermatt #alphubel4206m

Final Stop of this summer's field campaign: Alphubel South Face. 🏔 This tiny, high-altitude glacier, tucked into the south face of #alphubel, caught our eye on the map. Its steep incline and south-facing exposure make it vulnerable to summer melt despite the high elevation.
