Episode Details

Balin Scott Miller, a renowned Alaskan climber, has been honored posthumously with a Certificate of Honor from the state legislature. The award recognizes his groundbreaking solo climb of the Slovak Direct route on Denali and his nickname as the King of the Alaska Range. His mother, Jeanine Moorman, was surprised to learn about the certificate, which has been passed by both the House and Senate. The Balin Scott Miller Foundation, launched on what would have been his twenty-fourth birthday, is gaining momentum, with the Alaskan Alpine Club donating five thousand dollars to support grants for young climbers in need of essential gear. Applications for the grants are set to open in October, with winners announced on January twelfth. Moorman plans to keep her sons legacy alive through a Yosemite visit in April and an Anchorage fundraiser.
