Senior Guide

Taylor has been guiding in the Pacific Northwest for 5 years, including many peaks in the North Cascades and dozens of ascents of Mount Rainier. He’s also guided ascents of Denali in the Central Alaska Range and numerous high-altitude peaks in Mexico and Ecuador. Taylor enjoys all forms of climbing, but is especially dedicated to pursuing technical alpine climbing in venues like the North Cascades, the Canadian Coast Range, the Alaska Range, and the Chaltén Massif in Argentinean Patagonia. He lives in Bellingham, Washington, where he persists in his ongoing love/hate relationship with skiing.
