’The last three years have been the warmest on record in the European Alps - glaciers are receding at an alarming rate and mountains are crumbling. Can alpine communities adapt economies and livelihoods fast enough to keep pace with this rapid change? We head into the mountains with mountain guide Jon Bracey and professional athlete Liv Sansoz to climb one of the classic Chamonix routes. Rapid changes are forcing mountain professionals to change how they live and work in the mountains on a daily basis. Hillary Gerardi and Luc Moreau, experts on glacial development and the local ecosystem, share insights into their work and what the changes they are documenting may mean for the future. "Will it even be possible to climb this route in 20 years time?"
