Come Climb With Me!

Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned trad climber, I have an adventure for you. My goal is to help you achieve your goal. For some, that might mean climbing for the first time or summiting a dream climb. For others, that might mean learning how to build anchors or mastering self rescue skills. Either way, I will tailor a day to match the backgrounds and interests of you and yours.

For any booking initiated through me, I will provide high quality photos of our adventure. Not all guides take photos, let alone good ones.

Rates vary by location and itinerary. To submit an inquiry, please fill out this contact form, and I will get back to you shortly. I am usually booked at least 1 month in advance, but feel free to ask about last minute openings.

American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA) Training

I have gone through extensive training through the AMGA, including formal examination by some of the best mountain guides in the world.

*Be aware that not all guides have appropriate training. In fact, one is not legally required to have certification in order to guide in the United States. Even when a guide is “certified”, there are still different tiers of certification based on commitment grade. In rock guiding, for example, a Single Pitch Instructor can guide up to Grade I, Apprentice Rock Guide up to Grade II, Rock Instructor up to Grade III, Assistant Rock Guide up to Grade IV, and a Rock Guide can guide any Grade. So, a Single Pitch Instructor may be “certified”, but they are not qualified to guide you in multipitch terrain.

Rock

As an AMGA certified Full Rock Guide (the highest level of rock guiding certification), I am qualified to guide any rock climb.

Alpine

As an AMGA certified Apprentice Alpine Guide, I have passed the Alpine Guide Course and Ice Instructor Course, which qualifies me to guide alpine and ice climbs up to Grade III.

Where Can We Climb?

Salt Lake City, Utah (Year-round Rock, Ice, Alpine)

With some of the best climbing access in the country, there’s a reason I’ve chosen to make Salt Lake City my home. Rock, ice, or alpine, the Wasatch mountains provide!

Moab, Utah (Spring & Fall Rock)

Ever dreamed of climbing a desert arch or tower? Want to get better at crack climbing? Well then, Moab is the destination for you.

Red Rock, Nevada (Spring & Fall Rock)

Join me in Red Rock for some brilliant desert sandstone climbing. Only minutes from downtown Vegas, Red Rock offers a lifetime of climbing from long adventurous multipitching to easy access cragging.

Tetons, Wyoming (Summer Alpine)

The Grand Teton, the tallest mountain in the Teton Range at 13,770’, has been on every climber’s to-do list. Experience the raw beauty inherent to alpine climbing on one of the most iconic mountains in the world.

Ouray, Colorado (Winter Ice)

From the famous Ouray Ice Park right in town to backcountry ice galore, this is a top destination for American ice climbing. Whether you’re a first time ice climber or a seasoned veteran (Don’t know what a fixed point belay is? Let me show you.), I’ve got something for you.
