Rock Climbing Guide Jobs
Becoming a career climbing guide?
So... I'm a junior in high school and climbing is a huge part of my life right now. I feel like after school my climbing is going to get in the way of college + my job so I'm looking into making my living climbing... Anyone know a good path to take to become a professional mountain guide (Alpine climbing, rock climbing, ski mountaineering...) like well known schools and stuff...
Also, after taking whatever courses i need, how do most guides make a living? like do most work privately or are there organizations / companies ext....
Thanks!
To have any success working as a guide in the US, you need to be AMGA certified in one or several disciplines. There are many grades of certification, with the highest being Rock Guide, Alpine Guide, and Ski Mountaineering Guide. The ultimate certification is to hold all three of these distinctions and earn the IFMGA Guide, which is recognized internationally as the epitome of guide certification. Here is a link to the flowchart showing certification progression:

Here is a link to the AMGA Programs site, which shows you detailed requirements and pre-requisites for certification in any of these programs. I will warn you ahead of time... these are not just a show up, climb a couple pitches, take a written test, and get your stamp of approval type of programs. They will require a significant commitment of time and money and will take several years, depending on which and how many programs you elect to enroll in. Consider it a commitment similar to college, as the time and funding could be on a comparable scale.

Once you achieve certification, many guides work through guiding services, such as RMI, Alpine Ascents, EMS, Exum Guides, or one of the many other local guide companies. Others work free-lance and get work through AMGA or their own advertising. The pay is pretty low from what I have heard, especially after all the gear costs (many guides replace all/most of their technical gear each season, depending on how much use it got). However, you would get to climb for a living and travel to great destinations that many climbers will never have a chance to experience. Good luck.

rock climbing free/style repelling permit?
thats basicly it i want a repelling permit so cops can stop giveing me tickits i wanna repell off a briged and im sure there is a permit for that but i cant find it sooooo please help me thank u
I third c_kayak's comment.
Though, I would like the quarry idea nixed as well. You never know if blasting has occurred in a quarried area. Most would say stay away from those areas for climbing and rappelling as well. The integrity of the rock may appear stable until you put all of your weight or a force of a fall on the rock. Then all bets are off. Crazy stuff happens when rock is shifted in different ways than how it has been sitting for years. You can bring the whole thing down on you and anyone else in the vicinity.

| | Knack Rock Climbing (Paperback) $14.41 Judging from movies like Cliffhanger, rock climbing seems dangerous and, well, like a hard sport to do. The reality is that it doesn`t take much to get out climbing-in the gym or on the rocks. Knack Rock Climbing gets people started by giving them fundamental knowledge about climbing, equipment, movement, and safety. Photographs that accompany the succinct text every step of the way illustrate the basics of rock climbing, allowing quick comprehension of complex skills. This book is the only full-color volume on all aspects of climbing that specifically targets the beginner and novice rock climber. |

| | Rock Climbing Colorado (Paperback) $29.57 Rock Climbing Colorado is the only guide available that covers all the major climbing areas in the Centennial State, with routes ranging from 5.0 to 5.14—including the big cliffs and faces of Rocky Mountain National Park, the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, and the smaller crags and outcrops of Pikes Peak, Boulder, Rifle, Shelf Road, and Eleven Mile Canyon. In all thirty-seven areas covered, the book provides first-hand overviews and climbing histories, route beta and topos, detailed maps, and photos. Also included are suggestions for equipment and approach and descent information as well as listings for shops, gyms, and guide services. This new edition is a complete revamp of what already was considered the essential guide for Colorado rock climbers. Stewart Green has revisited, explored, and documented nearly all of the book’s 1,500-plus routes, updated all of the beta, and added hundreds of new routes developed since the first edition almost fifteen years ago. The new edition is full-color throughout, with color topos detailing each route. |
