The winner of the 2015 Boardman Tasker Award is the Canadian mountaineer Barry Blanchard, with his book "The Calling: A Life Rocked by Mountains."

A friend of the Boardman Tasker Trust from the outset, Ken’s contribution to mountain writing has been outstanding. Initially a climber/photographer, Ken established Mountain Magazine in 1969. Mountain soon acquired a worldwide reputation for excellence and established Ken as a figure in world mountain reporting.
