Yesterday, AAC announced the 2008 winners of the Lyman Spitzer and McNeill-Nott Awards. Micah Dash and Jonny Copp received a Spitzer Award for their upcoming expedition to Southeastern Tibet, to attempt unclimbed Dojitsenga (ca. 5,700m).
The McNeill-Nott award holds a special significance for Mountain Hardwear, as Karen McNeill and Sue Nott were a part of the MHW family. This year, the award goes to two recipients: Alex Alexiades and Althea Rogers. Alex will explore the Suches Valley, on the border of Bolivia and Peru, and search for new routes. Althea will attempt new free climbs in southeast Alaska's Wood River Range.
Congratulations to all!
