Rebekka Wendeln is one of our bike tour specialists.  She is also an avid paddler and climber.  When she's not running or training you can find her knitting up wool hats or neck gaiters.   She was also on our two most recent winter climbs on Mount Washington, as well as circumnavigation of the Tetons and a climb (and rescue assist) on Mt. Adams in the PNW.  Rebekka is aiming for a through hike of the AT in the next several years


Amanda Huden has been climbing for several years at Red River Gorge and Seneca Rocks.  She, too, was on our two most recent winter climbs on Mount Washington, as well as circumnavigation of the Tetons and a climb (and rescue assist) on Mt. Adams in the PNW.  Amanda thinks nothing of doing a century ride (100 miles) during a rain storm.  She is another of our cycling specialists.


Hannah (age 25) has climbed rock since she was 3 and ice since she was 7.  She recently made a winter ascent of Mount Washington in the Presidential Range of New Hampshire, home of the “worst weather on the face of the planet”.   

Jeff “Jimenez” Jankowski is a climber and assistant guide.  He also works on development.  He is responsible for the recent obstacle mud 5k race, which, thanks to his perseverance, was a very successful event.  Pics will follow soon!

Hans Oberhauser, the climbing hippo, (not pictured) levitates up M11 for fun. He can be found anywhere there is a "Rock and Ice" or "Climbing" magazine to read! He admires the style of Kurt Smith, Mark Twight, Steve House and Rolo Garibotti   Hans says "Hola! (He is from Argentina)" Hans Oberhauser
