2010 Philip Burton Award Honoree: Conrad Anker 
This year we presented the Philip Burton Award to Conrad Anker, a native Californian and iconic mountaineer who has made breakthrough first ascents throughout the world, from the Himalayas, to Antarctica, to Patagonia. Conrad grew up with a passion for wilderness and started climbing as a teenager. He has worked for the North Face for 20 years, the last five of which he has worked with the company’s environmental program. He is also a board member of the Conservation Alliance. Through his work and volunteerism, Conrad has made the world more aware of the challenges of land conservation worldwide.
Conrad's Everest conquest was featured in the film The Wildest Dream.
