Scott took up climbing when he was seven years old, and that was the start of climbing as a way of life. He’s been at it for eleven years now, and he’s having the time of his life traveling the world to climb and explore. He’s probably best known for his two record-breaking climbs: The Nose and Half Dome in Yosemite. In 2001 and 2003, respectively, he made history by being the youngest person ever to summit each in under a day. The Nose was especially important to him, as he climbed it in October 2001, right after the September 11th terror attacks, to raise money for the victims and families of that tragic day. He’s in the 2008 Guinness Book of Records for being the youngest up The Nose. He’s also proud to claim that he’s and his climbing partners, Steve Schneider and Heather Baer climbed “Welcome to the Slabs of Koricancha” (VI 13a, 650m, 13 pitches) at 17,470 feet – the hardest route in Peru. They made the first American ascent of the route, and the second ascent overall.

Currently, Scott’s climbing outside as much as possible, trying to climb harder and harder grades. He continues to use climbing to raise money for worthy causes. He graduated from high school in June and began a year long climbing journey before he starts college.
