The mountains continue to change around us in ways both expected and frightening. This years Alpine Journal tackles that change head on, with Alberto Sanchez Miravelles expertly unpacking the 2025 Blatten disaster and Skip Novak digging into the shifting terrain of the Shackleton Traverse.
Change is also on the minds and pens of other contributors as Sara Polverini weighs the impact of social media on our assessment of risk., while William Grant and James Mehigan look to the revisions on our maps as they consider the growing debate around mountain toponyms.
Perhaps the most heartening change in this year's edition is the arrival of a new generation of pioneering Alpinists. Whether in the summaries of the climbing activity from around the globe or in the reports of the AC members, young mountaineers are very much in evidence, still finding ways to innovate and create in the arenas their forerunners made famous.
As Dylan reminded us ' the present now will later be past' and so we also keep an eye to history, with Peter Foster, Paul Pritchard and Ian S Gibson all sharing vivid retellings of seminal ascents. Dive in with us and find the lines of contrast and continuity that connect the weathered face of mountain history to the fresh exploits fo the present.
