Mark is beyond just a Mountain Guide, he is an educator. What you glean is not just his passion for the mountains, excellent photography skills that make you look rad and constant sense of humor...you come away a more competent climber. Thanks Mark for all you have done for my development and so many other climbers we hold in common.

I had the pleasure of being one of Mark’s students about three years ago for climbing courses in Europe and South America. His style of instruction and mentoring still resonates with me to this day. In fact, I have found myself using his methodology throughout my time working as a climbing instructor on a professional and personal basis. Over the years I have worked with other professionals in the industry and would not hesitate to put Mark up against the very best!
