More Info
I am an AMGA certified and IFMGA licensed mountain guide who has been living in Ciales, Puerto Rico since Nov. 2016 and climbing full-time since 1987. I am available for hire for climbing in Puerto Rico and other exotic locations around the world. Will swap leads, teach clinics on every aspect of climbing, or simply make for a reliable partner for the day.
