| Jared
Ogden |
|
|
| Jared was born in Springfield, Massachusettes
in 1971 and moved to Pelham, New York at the age of three where
he lived until he was fourteen. In 1986, he moved to Carbondale,
Colorado at this influential age and discovered himself in the
heart of the Rocky Mountains with many outdoor pursuits at his
fingertips. Since then he's stayed in Colorado and currently
lives in Durango with his wife Kristin and son Tobin. |
|
| It was during his college days in Durango at Fort
Lewis College that he discovered climbing through his friends
and quickly took to it. Back then it was mostly bouldering mixed
in with some ice climbing nearby in Telluride, Silverton and
Ouray. Since then he has gone on to climb and complete first
ascents in over 15 countries in all disciplines of climbing.
Believing that climbing is his "calling" in life,
Jared has paid his dues to get where he is now and maintains
a healthy respect for the sport and listens carefully to his
intuition. Paying attention to intuition has carried him safely
up and down many difficult climbs and for many more to come.
|
| Some of his highlighted first ascents include
The Gambler on Aguja Guillamet, and Padre Viento on Aguja Mermoz,
both in Patagonia, Great Sail Peak (Baffin Island, Canada),
Book of Shadows on Nameless (Trango) Tower, Parallel Worlds
on Great Trango Tower and Ship of Fools on Shipton Spire, (all
in the Karakoram Range, Pakistan), Scorpion Wall on Roraima
Tepui in Guyana, and six first ascents in the Jarjinjabo Massif
of Tibet. |
| In 1997, he was the ice-climbing champion
in both speed and difficulty at the ESPN Winter X-Games and
has numerous speed ascents on Yosemite's El Capitan and Half
Dome including a link-up of the Regular Northwest Face and The
Nose in an 18-hour car-to-car effort in 1999. |
| His accomplishments prove Jared to be one of the
most talented all-around climbers of his generation. |
| Some of his favorite first ascents
on ice/mixed climbs include Fistful of Steel M10+, Cold Cold
World M8+, Crazy Horse M8+ and Six degrees of Separation M7X.
A few of his more memorable ascents on rock include the Bacher-Yerian
5.11cRX, climbing Astroman and The Rostrum all-free in 8 hours,
on-sighting the Rainbow Wall 5.12b in Red Rocks, and the first
ascent of Shadowboxing V 5.13aRX, in the Black Canyon. |
| Climbing Magazine featured him as one
of the top 11 climbers that represent the best of the U.S. and
made it on Core Sports Magazine's top 100 Raddest Athletes list.
|
| Jared is also a photographer, capturing
on film the remote and amazing places he and his partners encounter
while climbing. "Photography is very important to me because
it's an extension of my creativity," says Jared. His photographs
have been published in over 20 National and International publications
including U.S. News & World Report, Trail Runner, Canoe
and Kayak, Outside, Shape, Mens Health, Mens Journal, Outdoor
Retailer, Climbing, and Rock & Ice magazines. In addition,
he has served as videographer on several climbing films including
work for National Geographic Television and NBC Sports. For
complete information on his climbing, photography, and video
accomplishments please go to their individual pages on his website. |
