Originally from the Pacific Northwest, Jeff began teaching climbing in 2001, when he helped a friend with an Alpine Ice Climbing Course in the Glossglockner Alps of Austria. Since then, Jeff’s passion for the sport has extended to guiding alpine rock routes in the Tetons, teaching ice climbing in the San Juan mountains of Colorado and leading expeditions to Alaska, Patagonia, Africa and the Himalaya. Along the way, through his personal adventures, he has been honored to climb the granite expanses of Fitzroy, swing tools into the icy runnels of the Cassin Ridge of Denali, wiggle up the frozen chimneys of the Eiger North Face and visit the summit of Mt Everest.

Jeff enjoys every opportunity to share his passion for climbing and is looking forward leading clinics for Adidas and swinging tools into some Michigan Ice!
