    Guide: Washington

    Cameron grew up in the small town of Woodland Washington, beginning his climbing passion at the young age of 12 after climbing local Mt. Saint Helens several times and Mt. Adams by the age of 14. Guiding friends around the Washington Cascades was his way of developing a deeper connection with people and showing kids life outside the drama of high school. At age 18 Cameron started traveling around the world on his own to pursue his passion for videography, taking him on wild adventures around the globe including crossing a section of the arctic in northern Sweden solo in winter, living with a shaman in the Amazon, surviving solo on an island in Vav’u, hiking solo to Everest basecamp in winter, building his house on the remote island of Tabuaeran, sailing across the Pacific on a sailing cargo ship, and much more. His passions include paragliding, speedflying, skiing, scuba, kiteboarding, climbing (of course), free diving, and videography. He currently resides in Mammoth Lakes in the winter and Washington in the summer.

    • Crevasse Rescue Clinic: A Lesson in the Power of Practice

      By Anna Gibson I was fortunate to spend my childhood in northwestern Wyoming, with the Tetons just out my front door. Those mountains are the real-deal—truly an epic playground for a mountain runner and a backcountry skier like me. Yet the Teepee, Schoolroom, and Skillet Glaciers of the Tetons are dwarfs compared to the glaciers […]
