Chris Johnson's Climbing, Skiing Gear & Expert Recommendations
Apprentice Climbing Guide, Professional Ski Patroller
Boulder, COLearn, explore, and have fun!
Originally from the Midwest, Chris moved to Colorado almost a decade ago after falling in love with the mountains. Over that time, he’s pursued learning more about all types of climbing and enjoys sharing that knowledge and experience with others. Chris loves helping climbers improve in all areas of their climbing, whether that be technique work, fitness and conditioning, mental headspace, or technical systems. In the summer, you can find Chris climbing in Boulder Canyon, Eldorado Canyon, or high up in Rocky Mountain National Park and once the snow flies, he’s ski patrolling at Eldora and earning his turns in the backcountry.
