Adam Knoff grew up in the Midwest exploring the outdoors with his twin brother, Eric, spending his summers canoeing the great Boundary Waters Wilderness Area. He began climbing fifteen years ago and has prided himself on becoming skilled on ice, rock and in the mountains. Adam began guiding for RMI in 2001 and is a Senior Guide. He now guides worldwide as well as lending his expertise as an annual instructor for the Khumbu Climbing School created and sponsored by the Alex Lowe Charitable Foundation. When not in the mountains he lives and plays at Smith Rock State Park in Oregon.
