It is indeed Craig Childs, he has written extensivley on the American Southwest and is a climber too. I've read all of his books, highly recommend. And pleasantly surprised he was picked for this. :D
Wish I could go to this! Anyone on the eastside going that has room for me?

You are ALL wrong. (I know both).
I shared a site in C4 with Greg Ghilds.
I shared a night in a snow cave with Geoff Childes (and Steve Mullen. And walking out the next day we ran into Jeff Long, not John Long)
EDIT
but now that I see the photo, that's not him. WTF??

Craig Childs, who won the award, writes about nature and has a website: houseofrain.com
Greg Child (no s) wrote Mixed Emotions and Postcards from the Ledge and did few 8000 meter peaks.
Geoff Childs, also a climber, wrote Stone Palaces.
And there's another Geoff Childs who is a Tibetan scholar.

How long has it been since he was called The Kloeberdanz Kid?
Interesting how the route got its name.
