JACKSON MARVELL

Jackson’s infatuation with climbing began when he was young. On family vacations to the desert of Utah, he spotted climbers high up on the towering walls. This intrigue of attempting big wall, multi-pitch climbing became a reality when Jackson was 15 and convinced a coworker to take him along on one of her climbs. Since then, Jackson has grown his list of accomplishments well beyond what one might expect for his 27 years. He’s established many first ascents in Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Peru, Utah and Alaska, and always has his eye out for more. With his light and fast approach, combined with his creative lense, Jackson is evolving the sport and paving the way for the next generation of alpine climbing. He’s humble and easy going, but make no mistake, he’s hungry and has plans for so much more.
