Last time (10yrs ago) I was on the Aletsch Glacier, it took an hour to cross, width-wise. My 1980s map showed a side glacier flowing into it. In reality it took another mile to reach its snout. The Konkordia Hut was built beside the glacier, but now there are huge ladders to climb. Imagine it now!

Sadly it’s not nearly enough and just shows the volatility of our increased climate warming due to co2

Ah, but some Faux News jackass told us, "There's no such thing as global warming."

No point learning to ski (downhill). Or buy the kit.

I’m sure glad climate warming is just a hoax.
