I'm Scott, and I'm an instructor and outdoor lead guide for Ascend. I started climbing in 2010, learned to sport climb in 2011, learned to trad climb in 2017, and earned my AMGA SPI guiding certification in 2024. Climbing is one of my favorite things and I love sharing it with others! My favorite pizza toppings are pineapple and jalapenos and I used to be afraid of heights.
