Naturally, being winter, there are lots of stories about snow: on chasing Australia’s best backcountry lines; on walking the AAWT in winter; and (in a story by Tom O’Halloran, who represented Oz in climbing at Tokyo Olympics) on getting introduced to winter mountaineering in Aussie Alps. In the northern hemisphere, though, it’s summer, but that doesn’t mean there’s no snow on the ground, especially in a place like Greenland, from where we’ve got an absolutely fantastic piece on expedition paddleboarding. In other parts of Europe, though, the snow is disappearing all too fast, and we have a story on mountaineering in Monte Rosa, where disappearing glaciers are changing the nature of climbing there.
