Connor Chilcott

About

Connor grew up in around the ocean and rocks of Southern California. After a few years of rock climbing he was introduced to the mountains of the Sierra Nevada. His love for the mountains was realized following a winter ascent of Mt. Whitney. He found that challenging his physical and mental boundaries made him feel alive and at home atop these snow covered peaks.

Connor then left the warmth of California and moved to Colorado where he spent his time ice and mixed climbing and pursuing a career as a mountain guide. From there he has spent time climbing and skiing all around the world. Through the mountains Connor has found happiness and purpose, his focus is sharing this experience with others.

After years of hard work Connor was the 185th person in the United States to receive his IFMGA Certification. The International Mountain Guide Certification is the highest standard for guides across the world. This process takes 4-10 years to accomplish. Candidates are evaluated on their ability to guide guests safely across the largest rock, ice, alpine, and ski terrain.
