About
Ryan grew up near the coastal tidewaters of the Puget Sound in Washington State, but has since traded moss and rain for the sunshine and splitter cracks of the Sierra Nevada. Since graduating from Western Washington University in 2006 with a bachelor’s degree in Outdoor Adventure Management, Ryan has called the Sierra home. Beginning with leading extended backcountry mountaineering and backpacking trips for the Outward Bound School all over the range, he finally settled down in Mammoth Lakes to enjoy the unbelievable skiing and climbing the Eastside is famous for.
Ryan’s passion for climbing has taken him around the world, from Yosemite Valley where he has climbed more than 25 big walls including a 9 day ascent of Tribal Rite (5.10 A4), to Patagonia where he has made many major ascents including Fitz Roy and first ascents of remote alpine walls.
He is a certified AMGA/IFMGA Mountain Guide, an AIARE Course Leader, and is a Wilderness First Responder.
