2nd presentation of the Eiger Award
on 6 June 2009 in Grindelwald

The festive ceremony was surrounded by Alpine elements, stories, pictures, readings and music. The deserved winners are the climbing companions Simone Moro from Italy and Denis Urubko from Kazakhstan (unfortunately Denis was unable to take part personally). The Eiger Special Award goes to Röbi Bösch, photographer and mountain guide.

Simone Moro also received the congratulations and 15 kg-heavy trophy on behalf of Denis Urubko. In an impressive speech of thanks he described the border-crossing, multinational mountaineering tours and experiences that Denis and himself were able to undertake together.
