Recipient of the Polartec® Challenge Grant

Mountain Sense and IFMGA guide Peter Doucette and fellow IFMGA guide, Silas Rossi, will attempt a new route on the southeast face of Mt. Bradley in Alaska thanks to a grant from the Polartec® Challenge Grant. On their proposted route, the two-man team expects to find significant mixed climbing for the duration of the 4,500' ascent.

The annual Polartec® Challenge Grant seeks to assist frugal, low impact teams who respect the local culture and environment and serve as role models to outdoor enthusiasts worldwide. Applications are evaluated on the basis of their vision, commitment and credibility. Past recipients of the Polartec® Challenge Grant include outdoor pioneers and adventurers such as Conrad Anker, Jimmy Chin, Steve House, Jon Turk, Marko Prezelj, Andrew McLean and John Shipton. 

“The Polartec Challenge encourages the spirit and practice of outdoor adventure,” states Polartec North American Marketing Manager, Allon Cohne. “The 2012 Polartec Challenge Grant recipients exemplify Polartec’s commitment to expanding our perception of what's possible, and we're proud to help them.”
