WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A MOUNTAIN GUIDE - INTERVIEW - THE ROPE ACCESS AND CLIMBING PODCAST  

Hello and welcome back to The Rope Access and Climbiking Podcast.  Today I sat down with ACMG Mountain Guide Jordy Sheperd from Canmore, Alberta.  To chat about what it's like to be a mountain guide and avalanche professional.  As you know this is where I started with the pursuit to become a mountain guide and after an injury, my focus changed.  But for many out there, hiring a guide may be extremely valuable. With Covid and everything else going on in the world, there has been a massive increase of people heading into the backcountry, but before doing so please make sure to take the proper training and get the knowledge before venturing outside of the ski area or local climbing gym.   

I have always said. "The mountains have a way of dealing with overconfidence"  
 
Before you head out.  Make sure to get the proper training, gear, and up to date forecast (weather/avalanche)
