2010 Piolets d'Or

Here is a clip from the June 2010 Rock and Ice magazine spotlight of Kyle Dempster. I first met Kyle 13 years ago when he was a wild-child of 14 at Rockreation in Salt Lake City. Now 27, Kyle has quietly established himself as one of America’s top young alpinists and was recently nominated for the 2010 Piolets d'Or, the top award given to alpinists in the world. Tomorrow, April 10, Kyle will find out if he will come home with the golden axe. Good Luck Kyle!
