Video from the Alpine Exam by Martin Volken

Here is a link to a great video that Martin Volken shot during the Alpine Exam. He had a great little HD camera and I think the quality of the video is pretty good. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then this video is worth a million. See for yourself!

Certified Alpine Guide

I'm glad to report that I've finally and officially passed the Alpine Guides Exam! I was certainly relieved to have passed the exam, and I'm also psyched for my other exam partners Pat Ormond and Justin Merle who also made it through on top. Making it through this whole process has been a culmination of a huge amount of effort, planning, and plain old hard work. I could not have done it without the support of my wife Keeton, my parents Tony and Nancy, and my sponsors---RAB, Osprey, and Petzl. Looking forward to the fall and winter seasons of climbing and guiding. Hopefull my ankle cooperates............
