When I learned I’d be attending a gala for the “Oscars of Alpinism,” I made a note to pack formal clothes. The Piolets d’Or, or Golden Ice Axes, is a big deal; a rare career-building opportunity in a professional alpinist’s life. Earning this award can transform a strong amateur into a full-fledged member of global alpinism’s elite. This year, I joined the recipients who’d been coaxed out of their humble mountain hideouts to partake in alpinism’s biggest award ceremony.
