The winners of the Lyman Spitzer Award were Vince Anderson, Micah Dash, Ben Gilmore, Josh Wharton, and Chad Kellogg.
The two winners of the second annual McNeill-Nott Award were Alex Alexiades who explored and established new routes in the Suches Valley in Cordillera Apolobamba, and Althea Rogers who made an expedition with three other climbers in an attempt to free climb the granite domes of southeast Alaska’s Wood River Range.
