Joshua Conlon
Josh grew up skateboarding around the Greater Boston Area in Massachusetts, but quickly moved to Vermont after high school where he found climbing. After receiving a bachelor’s degree in Outdoor Education, Josh moved to Colorado in search of bigger mountains. He worked for the Colorado Outward Bound School for four years, spending more than 200 field days with adolescents working on leadership and team building. Josh now applies his educator mindset in his work with adults, teaching courses and guiding rock climbing, mountaineering, ice climbing and backcountry skiing/snowboarding across the Western US and Alaska. When Josh isn’t on the mountain or rock climbing, you can find him sipping espresso and updating his kindle reading list for the next trip.

Great guides, excellent support infrastructure, everything was really well thought-out. I’ve recommended AAI to multiple people for future expeditions.
