Biography
Jackson’s infatuation with climbing began when he was young. On family vacations to Zion National Park, 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 25 years. He’s climbed many first ascents and established new routes in Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Peru, Utah and Alaska, just to name a few locations. With his light and fast approach Jackson is evolving the sport and paving the way for the next generation of alpine climbing. He’s humble and relaxed, but make no mistake, he’s hungry and has plans for so much more.
