Originally from Santiago, Chile, and raised in Cleveland, OH, David found his passion for the outdoors after moving west to attend the University of Colorado Boulder. Drawn to the mountains and the freedom they provide, he began snowboarding and rock climbing, quickly immersing himself in the outdoor lifestyle. With a deep appreciation for adventure and a strong belief in nature’s transformative power, David now calls Bozeman, MT his home. He spends his time rock climbing, ice climbing, and snowboarding, and is dedicated to sharing his knowledge and experience with others through outdoor education and guiding.

Mountaineering
The Mt. Shuksan Fisher Chimneys climb is a three-day alpine ascent of one of the most striking peaks in the North Cascades. Shuksan is not a volcano, and the route reflects that: rather than a snow plod to a crater rim, the climb moves through forest and heather to Lake Ann, then up the Fisher Chimneys themselves — a series of ledges and gullies that demand real rock climbing — to a high camp perched on a narrow ridge.
From camp the route crosses three glaciers before the summit pyramid, an exposed rock finish that is the technical crux of the climb. Teams return to the same high camp for a second night rather than pushing out in the dark, then reverse the full route on the final day.
This is a committing objective for climbers who already move confidently on rock and snow, and who are comfortable with exposure. It asks for efficiency and sound footwork rather than raw endurance, and it delivers a summit that has to be climbed rather than walked up.
