AMGA Certified Single Pitch Instructor, Apprentice Rock Guide

Dylan is passionate and excited about climbing, introducing other to climbing, and helping climbers learn and practice new skills. He first tried climbing in 2014 on a whim with a friend, and followed that passion to become an AMGA certified Single Pitch Instructor in fall 2019. Dylan's strengths as a guide are his patience, fortitude, and articulation; and some of his favorite guiding topics are Climbing Photography, Intro to Traditional Climbing, and Mental Training for Climbing.

On the wall Dylan likes adventure climbs, hard friction slabs, and no hands rests; and off the wall Dylan likes trailrunning, snowboarding, photography and reading. He is also gay and is enthusiastic to work with LGBTQ+ clients. Fun Fact: Despite having traveled all over New England to climb, Dylan's favorite crag is Marshfield Ledge, right here in Vermont.
