Alpine Club Announces Nearly $12,000 in Grants
Golden, Colo.--The America Alpine Club has awarded nearly $12,000 in grants for environmental and cultural research projects and to support young climbers.
Sixteen recipients will share $9,425 in alpine club research grants, including Christopher Giza of Los Angeles,
who will analyze mountaineering and rock climbing injuries to the brain and spinal cord to develop a standardized accident-reporting format. Another funded project will study economic opportunity and socio-cultural response in a changing Nepal.
"The landmark achievements in our field are often made possible through AAC grants which are vital to continue the fine tradition of research in the mountain environment established by our predecessors," said Kevin Tatsugawa. He received a grant to study the effects of gingko biloba supplements on mountaineers.
Five recipients will share $2,500 in Mountaineering Fellowship Fund Grants. The grants are given to climbers under the age of 26 to gain experience they otherwise couldn't afford.
Recipients include Chris Thomas of Maryland, who will attempt to become one of the youngest climbers to conquer the "Ham and Eggs Couloir" on the Moose's Tooth of the Ruth Gorge in the Alaska Range.
"AAC-sponsored grants encourage young climbers like myself to move beyond the crag routes and get out to enjoy the true beauty of the deep mountain environment," Thomas said.
