As the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic continues, the American Alpine Club's Annual Benefit Gala and award presentation will once again be held virtually on February 20. The good news is that for the first time ever this will allow anyone with an Internet connection to have free access to the speeches and award presentations with some of climbing's biggest names. The theme is "Celebrating Grit."
