Born into climbing royalty and a pure talent, Shawn Raboutou inherited his passion for climbing from his parents, two legends of the sport, transforming it into a career as an international climber capable of writing new chapters in the history of bouldering. Born in the United States, he chose rock as his true arena, becoming a reference point for the world’s most extreme climbs.
With a background as a competition athlete, Shawn has found his dimension in outdoor climbing, where freedom, creativity, and the constant challenge against himself push him to surpass every limit. Among his most iconic achievements are the first ascents of extremely hard boulders such as Alphane and Megatron, which have redefined the 9A standard.
His connection with SCARPA comes from the search for a product aligned with his needs: performance, quality, and above all style.
His favorite shoes belong to the Instinct Family, providing adaptability to every situation, precision for tackling the most complex movements in modern bouldering and sport climbing routes, and ensuring an unmistakable style in his media content.
