Among numerous climbers I've spoken with, there's an increasing awareness of how alpinism itself interweaves with larger issues, from the carbon emissions of flights to distant ranges to the environmental impacts of gear manufacturing, from the barriers that alpinists from marginalized groups confront to the ongoing inequities in much of the mountain travel industry - and more. Mountain escapism, also known as "just mountaineering" (although the "just mountaineers" will be annoyed with me for saying so) resembles an insistence that one "does not see race." "One of the greatest challenges of mountaineering", as the Canadian alpinist Marc-André Leclerc once wrote, "is in dealing with the natural obstacles the mountain provides." From a Sherpa perspective, an expedition to the summit is not only an act of performing technical skills on the mountain, but also a careful consideration of the relationship between the climber and the mountain. - Japanese mountaineer and Alpinist contributor Kei Taniguchi (1972- 2015) in 2009 became the first woman to receive a Piolet d'Or.
