Alpine Climbing, Sailing, Freediving, Backpacking, Travel, Farming, Bowhunting
Gabe grew up on a farm on a small island in British Columbia, Canada, where he spent much of his time outside exploring. In his late teens, his passion for backcountry travel led him to climbing. Soon after, he enrolled in a NOLS mountaineering course in Chilean Patagonia, where he developed a strong technical foundation.
Since then, he has continued to build experience in alpine climbing throughout the Pacific Northwest, the Canadian Rockies, Alaska, and Kyrgyzstan. After completing a degree in cognitive science, he shifted his focus toward guiding and spending more time in the mountains. He enjoys sharing those experiences with others.
When he’s not in the mountains, Gabe can be found working on his family’s farm, sailing and boating with friends, freediving, bowhunting, or still looking for a hobby that allows him to sit still.
Hearing the diversity in everyone's stories. The mountains have a way of stripping people down to who they really are, and it is a privilege to witness that.
Growing and raising organic food, Long expeditions in the mountains, snowboarding, etc.
I hope clients leave with the confidence that they're capable of more than they realized, and an appreciation for the dynamic simplicity of the mountains. There's a real serenity in focusing only on your breath and your next step while moving through terrain this beautiful and complex.

Skill Development
The Expedition Skills Seminar – Muir is a foundational training program for climbers developing core mountaineering skills on Mount Rainier. Based out of the climbers’ hut at Camp Muir, the seminar emphasizes repetition, terrain-based learning, and time spent moving efficiently in an alpine environment. With team equipment staged at camp, climbers spend full days on surrounding glaciers practicing essential skills in realistic, demanding conditions.
The program’s flexible structure allows guides to adapt training objectives and identify an appropriate summit window based on conditions and team readiness. The result is an immersive experience that prioritizes skill development while still working toward a true summit objective, giving climbers both depth of instruction and meaningful time on the mountain.
