Maarten van Haeren, Ethan Berman, Peter Hoang and Alik Berg were one of two teams who received the support of the 2020 John Lauchlan Award to have a exploratory trip to the east end of Mt Logan.
After spending six weeks on the glacier, the team completed several new routes, summitted Mt Logan via the East Ridge, and attempted I-TO on the southeast face of Logan.
Grant Statham and Tim Pochay were one of two teams who both received the first John Lauchlan Memorial Award in 1997 to head into the Kitchatna Spires in Alaska.
This particular piece from Grant Statham explains the importance of the John Lauchlan Award, the character that was the man himself, and the value of exploratory climbing.
We appreciate that the lands known today as Canada are home to the enduring presence of all First Nations and Métis people, and the Inuit and we acknowledge the past, present, and future generations of these Nations who continue to lead us in stewarding this land, as well as honour their knowledge and cultural ties to this place. The Alpine Club of Canada’s head office is located in the traditional lands of Treaty 7, which is comprised of the Stoney Nakoda Nations of Wesley, Chiniki, and Bearspaw; three Nations of the Blackfoot Confederacy: the Piikani, Kainai, and Siksika; the Mountain Cree; and the Tsuu T’ina of the Dene people. This territory is also shared with the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III. Before the signing of Treaty 7, and prior to the establishment of provincial boundaries, this region was also used by the Ktunaxa and the Maskwacis people.
