ClimbingLife Guides: AMGA Single Pitch Instructor Program

As an AMGA Instructor since 1999, I've been fortunate to work with hundreds of climbing guides over the last 15 years and in this role we are also continually re-training ourselves to be alert, have high situational awareness, weigh our options and make decisions based on judgment and not rules. I'm always impressed by the candidates I train with due to their hard work and willingness to enter into a learning environment which will challenge their assumptions and potentially change the way they manage their risk in both personal and professional applications.

Although I've enjoyed the challenges and rewards of training other guides in the multi-pitch rock and more extreme alpine environments, I'm choosing to minimize my risk exposure by staying on the local crags and training others in the Single Pitch Instructor environment where we offer both courses and assessments from April through November in Golden, Boulder and Estes Park, Colorado

Enjoy the photos from recent courses this past fall and spring and we've got a full schedule of AMGA Courses through the end of this year if you're interested in taking advantage of this unique learning environment with one of the country's most experienced climbing instructors and guides.
