Guides Adapting to Climate Change

11 August 2022

Natalie Berry writing for UK Climbing:

Rapidly deteriorating conditions across the European Alps due to rising temperatures are forcing mountain guides, their clients and independent teams to change their objectives as the risk of rockfall, avalanches and serac collapses increases. Some normal routes up major peaks are no longer being sold by guiding companies as the impact of climate change and the current heatwave becomes clear following a tragedy on the Marmolada this month and a spate of incidents and near-misses during the high season.

Many bucket-list summits and classic lines – which typically bring guides the most income – are currently off the cards. 

The new normal.
