AMGA Single Pitch Instructor, Apprentice Rock Guide

Jack is a 2020 graduate from the University of Vermont with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science. He is pursuing the AMGA rock guide track and enjoys nothing more than getting outside to go climbing with people. Whether that be introducing someone to a new aspect of the sport or romping up a multi-pitch with a friend. The love he has for introducing someone to climbing comes from his love of outdoor education. His favorite part of outdoor education through climbing is how much it empowers people and puts them more in tune with their natural surroundings. 

He has experience climbing in places like the canyons of Colorado, Vedauwoo, Joshua Tree National Park, Red Rocks National Reserve, The Blue Ridge Mountains, New York, New Hampshire, and of course Vermont. When Jack isn’t rock climbing he enjoys exploring and camping on the snowy slopes of The White Mountains of New Hampshire. You also may see him biking and hiking around Vermont or ice climbing in Smuggler’s Notch during the winter.
