olyclimber Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Congrats John, Roger, and Dylan! Question: has the Mugs award always spelled out the objective like this? I've read other years and I don't remember it being like that, but its probably just CRS. Seems like it could result in a queue if some other badasses had it in mind too.

ivan Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 more importantly, does the grant contain cash for a wild send-off party? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoran Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Congratulations to John! Fantastic objectives for all teams. This is real alpinism. Mugs award is something very special. I personally love this Waddington plan very much! Good luck to Damien and Jim! Baintha Brakk was very important objective for Europeans and Japanese. Looks like Colin will solve the puzzle Huber's couldn't. I am amazed how good he become. Exceptional talent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Thanks all! Appreciate the shout out Make no doubt about it... it was Roj and Dylan's achievements that won that award. I have no delusion that I had much to do with our team being selected as a recipient. Question: has the Mugs award always spelled out the objective like this? I've read other years and I don't remember it being like that, but its probably just CRS. @Porter: as long as I can remember they have been listing each team's objective. Though the possibility of being scooped exists generally the objectives are big enough that often a portion of the climbing community is aware of it. Anybody else headed to the Ruth this year? Give me a shout if Ill see any of you in either Talkeetna or on the glacier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
