Cason

Cason Crane has been climbing all over things (mostly his four little siblings) since he was a kid. He caught the mountaineering bug when he climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro with his mother in 2008 at age 15. Since then, he has climbed mountains in the United States, New Zealand, Russia, Switzerland, France, and Argentina. He has traveled to over 65 countries and all seven continents, and has done numerous volunteer missions in Africa, Asia, and North America. He is also an avid runner, swimmer, and triathlete. He completed his first Ironman in New Zealand in January 2012.

Cason graduated cum laude from Choate Rosemary Hall in 2011 and will join the Princeton University Class of 2017, where he hopes to study International Relations at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
