Jackson Marvell, a driven and adventurous climber from Provo, Utah, is known for pursuing wild and raw climbing experiences. His passion ignited at age 15 when he climbed outside for the first time Rock Canyon, leading to a career of relentless pursuits of unexplored terrain. By 21, he had already scaled 100 of Utah’s desert towers, driven by curiosity and a desire to push his limits. His global adventures include establishing new routes in Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Nepal, Peru, and Alaska. Notably, in October 2023, Marvell, alongside Alan Rousseau and Matt Cornell, achieved the first alpine-style ascent of Jannu’s formidable north face via a new route they named “Round Trip Ticket” (M7 AI5+ A0, 2700m), marking a significant milestone in high-altitude climbing.  

Marvell’s hunger for adventure is paired with a grounded perspective. He thrives on exploration and the rugged beauty of remote landscapes, valuing creativity and problem-solving as much as achievement. Whether battling harsh alpine conditions or making daring moves on sandstone towers, Marvell embraces the unknown and pushes boundaries.
