Blaurock "Silver Piton" Volunteer of the Year Award

Named after Carl Blaurock—a founder of the Colorado Mountain Club and influential mountain instructor and climber in the US—the Blaurock “Silver Piton” Volunteer of the Year Award is presented annually since 1996 to a CMC member who serves as a positive and inspirational example of volunteerism, investing a substantial amount of volunteer effort in Colorado Mountain Club activities which result cumulatively in a significant improvement to the Club.
