This award acknowledges the defence and transmission of the social values of mountaineering. Values such as improvement, effort, and teamwork; loyalty and optimism as force for change; knowing how to combine every activity related to mountaineering, climbing or extreme sports with family life... In short, it somehow rewards the vital passion for the mountain.
