During the three-day event, exciting meetings and mountain-focused debates will crown in the awards ceremony.
Five are the “nominees” that have been selected by the jury chaired by George Lowe and composed by the Italian mountaineer and writer Erri De Luca and by Denis Urubko, Catherine Destivelle, Sungmuk Lim and Karin Steinbach; they will be given the difficult task of establishing the winners of the craved praise.
This year, the traditional “Piolet D’or Carrière”, lifetime achievement award named after Walter Bonatti, will be attributed to the American mountaineer John Roskelley, author of beautiful and impressive ascents characterized by a fast lightweight in total respect of the mountain.
