Karen McNeill & Sue Nott
With the untimely death of
Sue Nott
and
Karen McNeill
on Mt Foraker,
the
American Alpine Club {AAC} and Mountain Hardwear decided to establish a new grant
and name it the McNeill-Nott Award. Sue Nott was a long time member of the AAC and a
Mountain Hardwear athlete. She had a close and frequent partnership with Karen and both
climbers had tackled new and established test pieces alike.
This new award seeks to preserve the memory and spirit of these two talented and courageous climbers
by awarding grants to help realize the dreams of amateur climbers attempting new routes or first
ascents. Special attention will be given to projects that have strong exploration and adventure
components, and these components will be weighted more heavily than technical difficulty. Climbers
or projects supported financially by corporate sponsors will not be taken into account.
