Adam Frost
Adam was raised in the farmlands of southwest Idaho, where his love for nature began. His appreciation for the outdoors and adventure has taken him across North and South America, Asia, the South Pacific and Europe, exploring the ranges and peaks in the Himalaya, Patagonia, Alaska and New Zealand. Adam and his love, Amy, now get to introduce the mountains to their 1.5 year old son, Liam the Heir of house Frost.

One piece of advice for aspiring mountaineers?
“The best climber in the world is the one having the most fun”. – Alex Lowe. Reaching a summit is a great feeling and goal to pursue, I will do everything I can to safely get there, but I would only consider a trip a failure if I didn’t have fun with my friends and climbing partners, cultivating connections and experiences with the people and the land.

Immensely enjoyed the expedition. It was the most amazing and challenging outdoor experience of my life, so far. The guides were nothing short of excellent.
