Walter, there is a vast amount of information about him on Supertopo.com. Many people there knew him personally and climbed with him, and he posted over there quite a bit as well. |

Walter. Scott was like 100 proof whiskey.... Some could not handle him at all, others loved him and his full on commitment toward his climbing. |

I see your going to Josh soon, go check out some of his climbs..... Some of them await a second ascent. Not because people don't try them. The man was a climbing animal. RIP ScottWow thanks for this good info, do you know any of his routes names? And yes I read that he was a character... |

Check out the supertopo forum link below. There's a post from Clint Cummins about 1/4 of the way down the page with Hank Caylor's entertaining recount of his attempt of SB. Another post from MisterE near the bottom of the page reposts Scott's own story. A great read. |

As one who aspires to someday swim in the golden sea of the south face, I am very sad to hear of his passing. Slab climbers will mourn a fallen soldier |
