Simon Bell was a Wellington climber and TTC alpine instructor. He was last seen at Esquilant Bivvy on January 14, 2015. He had intended to climb the west to east face of Mt Earnslaw.

Simon gained a great deal from his membership of the Tararua Tramping Club, the Wellington Section of the NZAC and the Canterbury Mountaineering Club. He learned mountaineering skills through club courses, went on many trips and made good friends.

He enjoyed sharing his experiences and love of the mountains through trip reports, presentations and AIC instruction. In helping others to develop mountaineering skills and foster a love of the mountains, this Scholarship honours Simon's memory.
