Memorial

Scott Sandberg

Scott Sandberg was an active member of the Boston Area climbing community from 2000 to 2003. He had only been climbing a few years but was very skilled and motivated. He was an active volunteer, and had organized very successful volunteer events at Hammond Pond and the Quincy Quarries. He spoke passionately about protecting climbing areas, and being an activist for the important things in life.

He died in an avalanche on Mount Washington in November 2002. In recognition of his service to the climbing community, the AMC Boston Chapter Mountaineering Committee named the "Volunteer of the Year" award after Scott Sandberg.
