    About Peter

    Peter is a Colorado based climbing instructor who spends much of his personal and professional time sharing the outdoors with others. Peter found climbing early in life while growing up in Colorado. He has seen how the skills, relationships and attitudes learned while on the rock have enriched his life and can be transferred to help navigate life’s challenges. These experiences have led to a passion for fostering equity and belonging in outdoor and vertical spaces. Peter is passionate about preserving the landscapes he loves, and works to instill the importance of place in outdoor pursuits. Peter graduated from Prescott College in 2011 with a BA in Adventure Education. He is a certified Single Pitch Instructor, Apprentice Rock Guide and Wilderness First Responder. Outside his professional roles, Peter spends much of his time volunteering with organizations committed to stewardship and building and preserving equitable access to the outdoors. When not on the rock, you can find him canyoneering or whitewater kayaking throughout the southwest.
