Requirements for Success:

  • Prior experience leading or instructing climbing trips required; professional guiding certification preferred (AMGA, SPI, or equivalent).
  • Strong technical climbing and belay skills, including safety systems and rescue procedures.
  • Excellent communication, leadership, and problem-solving abilities.
  • Passion for guest engagement and outdoor education.
  • Current CPR/First Aid certification required.
  • Willingness to work flexible hours including weekends and holidays.
  • Ability to climb, lift, and carry up to 50 lbs of gear.
  • Comfort working in variable outdoor conditions including heat, cold, and elevation.

Benefits:

  • Competitive salary and benefits package.
  • Opportunity to be part of a dynamic and growing hospitality team.
  • Fast-paced and rewarding work environment.
