On May 12, Bartek Ziemski reached the summit of Lhotse, at 8,516 meters, before strapping on his skis to descend to base camp via the extremely steep west couloir, dubbed “the dream line” by the first and only other skiers—Americans—in 2018. Without supplemental oxygen, without a Sherpa, and without fixed ropes installed all the way to the summit, in difficult snow conditions, the Polish alpinist achieved a solo feat and a major milestone in the history of Himalayan skiing.

Forty years ago, on May 11, 1986, French explorer Jean-Louis Étienne reached the geographic North Pole alone, after 63 days of walking and more than a thousand kilometers across the ice. No GPS, no satellite phone. Just a sextant and an obsessive idea: the North Pole. 63 days of solitude, for a feat that we might call “analog” today.

The Garmin Fenix 8 Pro takes almost everything from the Fenix 8, but adds what the range was still missing: real communication capability without a smartphone, for alpinists, explorers. LTE, satellite, messages, position sharing, SOS: Garmin brings its outdoor watch closer to the inReach universe. To put it simply, a fēnix 8 Pro is a fēnix 8 with a built-in inReach beacon.

On Everest, drones have gradually become indispensable, first for finding the best route through the Icefall, and then, for the past two seasons, for transporting gear to Camp 1 using a cargo drone. However, their development has just been halted —temporarily?— by the Nepalese authorities, even though the equipping of the normal route is already significantly behind schedule this season.

On Saturday, April 25, 2026, the margin between history and almost-history on Mont Blanc came down to just two minutes. French ski mountaineers Mathéo Jacquemoud, 35, and Samuel Equy, 29, completed the round trip from the church of Chamonix to the summit of Mont Blanc and back in 4 hours, 41 minutes and 24 seconds, setting a new ski and overall fastest known time for the iconic route. https://alpinemag.com/mont-blanc-record-falls-by-two-minutes-to-french-ski-mountaineers-matheo-jacquemoud-and-samuel-equy/

The thing about records and FKTs – Fastest Known Times : they’re meant to be broken. A century after the first Chamonix Zermatt Ski Traverse, speed has changed everything. It has altered our perception of distances, of things, and of the mountains themselves, writes Jocelyn Chavy. Link in comments.

In January, 2025, on the ridge of the Grossglockner, at an altitude of 3,798 meters, Kerstin Gurtner died of hypothermia after being left alone by her companion, just a few dozen meters from the summit. A year later, on the 19th of February, 2026, the Austrian courts ruled that the mountaineer was guilty of manslaughter through gross negligence. This was a rare ruling in mountaineering, establishing the criminal liability of an amateur climbing partner and marking a turning point in the way accidents in high mountains can eb judged.

In the vast white expanse of the northern part of Canada, Mathieu Blanchard pulls his pulka through temperatures of minus 40 Celsius degrees. He pushes himself to his limits in the Yukon Arctic Ultra, a 600-kilometre race that he completed in nearly eight days. In search of solitude, the ultra-trail runner reveals himself in L’appel du silence (The call of silence), an immersive and haunted French film where pure performance fades away to make room for raw emotions. Co-director Mathis Decroux tells us more. https://alpinemag.com/mathieu-blanchard-rendezvous-cold-solitude-yukon-movie/

On January 26, 2006, in the depths of the Himalayan winter, Jean-Christophe Lafaille disappeared on the slopes of Makalu. Twenty years ago, French mountaineering lost its king of commitment. We look back on the career of a gifted climber, survivor of Annapurna and visionary of alpine style, who left his mark on an entire generation before being swallowed up by his last great dream.
