About The Host

With over fifteen years of experience climbing and mountaineering, We have climbed some of the biggest rock walls in the world, including El Capitan and all three towers of Torres Del Paine in Patagonia. After devoting over a decade to establishing first ascents on large rock walls, we are now more inclined to push it sport climbing, occasionally throwing down some big mountain/trad missions or bouldering on the side.

Our team is an AMGA Aspirant Guide, has training from AIARE, and is a Wilderness First Responder. We also work as Lead Safety for Running Wild with Bear Grylls and occasionally work with other productions doing rigging, scouting, and safety.
