Biography

For the last decade, I have lived a life focused on the pursuit of steep new alpine lines in remote regions of the world. This has resulted in internationally significant alpine routes in the Karakoram, Tien Shan, Alaska Range, Saint Elias, Canadian Coast Range, New Zealand Southern Alps and Andes, in addition to many new routes in the continental United States. For these ascents I was a 2014 finalist for the Piolet d’Or and named the 2010 New Zealand Alpinist of the Year. Alongside my alpine climbing career I work as a Producer and Director of Development with Bedrock Film Works.
