Jason Nelson
What makes Jason Nelson special is his hot little wife Lisa, and funky son Zane that he keeps in tow. In fact, with these distractions, nobody even notices Jason on the other end of the rope.
Jason Nelson began climbing at the age of 18 on the small crags of New England. These days he lives in Ouray, Colorado establishing rock climbs up to 5.13 and mixed climbs up to M11.
Jason has climbed all over the world including; USA, Canada, Mexico, Peru, Thailand, Spain and Australia. He can be seen on big-walls, ice falls, sport climbs, the occasional boulder, competing at various ice festivals, and during high-gravity days - the ground.
Jason is so tall that he makes the climbs look rather small, but he'll assure you, they're still just as hard for him. In 2006, Jason placed 3rd in the speed comp, and 5th in the difficulty comp, at the Ouray Ice Festival, confirming suspicions that he might be a promising mixed climber.
When Jason is not climbing, he is usually spending time with the aforementioned wife and son, or sitting behind the computer designing web sites for his company which he started in 2002, Visual Adventures.
"I believe that climbing is supposed to be fun. Granted, sometimes it takes the passage of time for something to be considered fun. Climbing should be balanced with other things in life so that you keep wanting more."
"Some of the things I like about climbing are:"
- meeting new and interesting people
- traveling to beautiful places
- it gives me something to do while traveling
- it keeps me inspired
- it's a never ending challenge
