About Dylan
Dylan discovered climbing in college and quickly fell in love with the process of challenge, growth, and continual improvement. Nearly 20 years later, climbing remains at the center of his life, with many seasons spent logging over 200 days a year on rock. His experience spans disciplines and continents—from sport and trad to ice, mixed, and big wall climbing—with adventures ranging from the limestone of Céüse to remote alpine towers and desert walls around the world.
Through those formative years, Dylan learned that climbing offers far more than movement on stone. The mountains are a place of connection, resilience, and joy, and he believes the lessons learned through climbing translate directly into life. His guiding philosophy is rooted in effort, curiosity, and community—because everything is better when shared with good people.
Dylan has built his career around helping others discover that same passion. He guides professionally, teaches clinics at climbing festivals, instructs in climbing gyms, and works with climbing brands as an ambassador. He has completed numerous AMGA courses and training programs and remains committed to continuous growth—refining his systems, mountain sense, and communication so he can offer thoughtful, high-quality experiences to every climber he works with.
