Mountain Hardwear Athletes, Freddie Wilkinson & Kevin Mahoney Win 2010 Lyman Spitzer Award!
The AAC has selected five expeditions to receive its 2010 Lyman Spitzer Cutting Edge Awards. A total of $12,000 will be divided among the five small American teams, which will attempt lightweight, state-of-the-art climbs from Alaska to China.
This fall, Freddie Wilkinson of Madison, NH, will attempt an alpine-style ascent of the south face of Nuptse (7,800m) with his longtime climbing partners Ben Gilmore from Jackson, WY, and Kevin Mahoney from Madison, NH. The team will attempt either a new route on the left side of Nuptse's enormous south wall or an alpine-style second ascent of the route Moonlight Sonata on the southeast spur.
