jared_j Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 (edited) I'm looking to put together a water ice climbing clinic for a Seattle - based climbing club (The Bushwhackers). Most of the expertise in the club is with more general glacier climbing, rock climbing, and skiing - thus the interest in employing a guide. If you have a particular recommendation for a professional guide in the region, I'd be grateful to hear about them and your experience. If you've had a negative experience with a particular guide, I'd like to hear that, too. If you're a guide and looking for work, I'd be game to hear your pitch, and would be more receptive to your pitch if you could provide client references. Minimal thread drift is appreciated; please spare me the "hell, I could teach you to friggin' ice climb!" - type responses.

Alex Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Jason Martin, one of the authors to Washington Ice: A Climbers Guide, is a professional guide. Perhaps you could procure his services? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pms Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 right on bushwackers. It's great to see a club thinking about hiring experienced guides. Not that there aren't experienced climbers in the clubs too. I was climbing with someone last weekend who had hired Jason and thought he was great.

jared_j Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 (edited) Edit: I just found out Jason is guiding in Red Rocks all winter from the folks up at AAI in Bellingham. Any other recommendations? Edited October 31, 2007 by jared_j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 pms, who posted here but is likely too modest to spray about himself, seems like a most exccellent candidate as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
