In August–September 2024, Jornet made international headlines by summiting 82 peaks over 4,000 metres in just 19 days, smashing the previous record by three days and traversing the Alps at a pace never before achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Set against glaciers and ridgelines undergoing rapid change, Alpine Connections also serves as a powerful act of witness to the accelerating impact of climate change in the Alpine world. The result is a striking, human work that has already been praised in El País: 'Jornet captures the ethereal, the human, and the philosophical aspects of (...) his Homeric ride between glaciers and peaks, and offers reflections that no measured figure can resolve'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57483240276341,"sku":"9780500032039","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.info\/products\/9780500032039","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
