Danny Innamorati
As a New England based jack of trades, Danny took his love of climbing mountains and surfing waves to the West. He left a math degree in the rear-view mirror, leaving home to pursue a guiding and climbing career. At that time, he realized he could achieve a more pure form of climbing by setting a goal to send “Freerider” on El Cap without using aid. Danny considers climbing “ground up,” with a “fast and light” mentality to be the best style. Since 2018, he has guided climbing routes from New York to California and plans to continue his guiding career in Washington and the bigger mountains beyond.
