Piolets d'Or 2024 announces "big list" of Significant Ascents

As per tradition, the Piolets d'Or committee has announced its list of the most significant and innovative climbs carried out in 2023, from which the nominees of the Piolets d'Or 2024 will be selected. This will be carried out as per usual by an international technical jury, composed of Lise Billon (Fr), Jack Tackle (US), Mikel Zabalza (Spain), Genki Narumi (Jap), Toni Gutsch (Ger), Aleš Česen (Slo), and Enrico Rosso (Ita).

For the first time ever the honoured ascents will be celebrated in San Martino di Castrozza, Italy, and the event is scheduled to run from 8 - 11 December 2024. It is currently not known who will receive the prestigious Piolet d'Or Carrière Lifetime Achievement Award but, interestingly, the organisers have announced that as of this year there will be a systematic Special Mention to promote female alpinism. This is intended specifically "to promote female alpinism and will recognise a remarkable all-female ascent from the previous year, or a female alpinist for several achievements in the previous year(s), or a female alpinist’s career. It is intended to be a first step: the format will evolve and be revised from feedback gained over the next few years."

Prior to announcing the list, the organisers also paid tribute to five Piolet d’Or recipients who perished during the last year due to tragic mountain accidents concerning five Piolets d’Or recipients. These are:

Kazuya Hiraide (45) and Kenro Nakajima (39y) were killed in a fall from high on K2 in late July, 2024, while attempting a new route on the west face.

Dmitry Golovchenko (40) was killed on Aug 31, 2023, while attempting a new route on the southeast ridge of Gasherbrum IV.

Sergey Nilov (47), his partner on GIV and other major ascents, was killed by a serac fall on Aug 17, 2024, during an expedition to recover Golovchenko’s body.

Archil Badriashvili (34) was killed during a thunderstorm on Aug 10, 2024, on the descent of Shkhelda in the Caucasus.

The preliminary list of significant first ascents during 2023 was compiled by Lindsay Griffin (Senior Editor, American Alpine Journal), with help from Dougald MacDonald (Editor in Chief, American Alpine Journal) and Rodolphe Popier (Club Alpin Francais). According to the authors it is "a selection of ascents that are classed as noteworthy and adventurous within their particularly régions, involving new routes that were completed more or less in continuous alpine style."
