Piolet d'Or

As leader of my Mazino Ridge Nanga Parbat expedition to Pakistan last year when Rick and I pushed on for 18 days and climbed the previously unclimbed ridge, summited and descended by the Diamir face. Rick and I were awarded the Piolet d'Or in Courmayer and Chamonix last weekend. 

 Sandy Allan , Catherine Destiville, Chris Tromsdorff and Rick Allen.

My good pals and great sherpas who contributed so much. from the left; Rangdu, Zarok and Nuru.
