Copp-Dash Inspire Award

I lost several good friends last year. Among them were Jonny Copp, Micah Dash, and Wade Johnson in an avalanche in China. The American Alpine Club has set up a grant in their names. Check it out HERE.

Jonny Copp and Micah Dash were two of America’s leading alpine climbers, adventuring to the farthest corners of the world in search of first ascents in the purest of style. It was on just such a mission in May 2009, in western China’s Sichuan province, that Jonny and Micah, along with filmmaker Wade Johnson, were killed in an avalanche. With Jonny and Micah’s deaths we lost two of the great alpinists, characters and storytellers the North American climbing world has recently known.
