Micah is a passionate climber and guide who enjoys helping climbers in their progression and sharing some of the more off-the-beaten-path mountain routes. He is an AMGA certified Rock and Alpine Guide, Instructor Team member and holds two Bachelor of Arts degrees in Outdoor Education and Psychology from the University of Massachusetts. He lives in Ridgway, Colorado at the foot of the rugged San Juan mountains a home that is proud to have built ground-up with his wife and father-in-law. It's from this location that Micah is now able to climb rock, ice, and mountains year-round. He has been guiding since 2007 and travels every year to Alaska, the Pacific Northwest and the desert Southwest for climbing and guiding.
