I just received the official notice, I passed my AMGA Alpine Exam. I am now a AMGA Certified Rock, Alpine and Ski Mountaineering Guide. With the completion of all three Certs. I am an IFMGA/UIAGM Certified Mountain Guide.

It was a great process, and even with years of guiding already under my belt, I learned a ton. Click here to learn more about the AMGA or IFMGA

Denali West Buttress

I just completed my first official In The Company of Guides Denali trip. This custom private was done with three guides and two clients. We choose this ratio in order to make this trip as easy as possible for the two climbers. Each day I travelled with Ken and Carlos at a normal pace, while Alex and Dusty (my two assistants) hurried ahead so camp was set up and water on the stove when we rolled in.

Todd just summited Denali with Ken! Congratulations!

In The Company of Guides

Hi Folks,

As you can see, I haven't posted here for quite some time. That is because I have been busy building another website. The new website is called In The Company of Guides and is a virtual billboard showcasing all of the trips we currently offer. Please check it out and contact me with your comments, trip ideas or better yet to sign up for your next mountain adventure.
