My knowledge of outdoor adventures have been fine-tuned by fourteen years experience, both leisure-time and professional. I am confident and competent in my climbing skills. As a result of experience in the desert, alpine and glacier environments, I am familiar with and have used a wide variety of gear and climbing techniques. Working as a professional guide, and climbing instructor has allowed me to hone my interpersonal skills, and allowed me exposure to environments for my photography few people have the chance to see.
